Build a scheme from colours you have seen
A classic colour scheme generator derives a palette from a single colour using harmony rules. It’s a useful prompt, but the schemes that feel right often come from colours observed together — in a photo, a room, or a product. Color Identifier supports that: instead of generating colours, it captures the exact shades you choose and keeps them as codes you can group into a scheme.
Capture each colour precisely
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Point at an object, or tap a precise point in an image.
- Read the colour name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
- Save it, then add the next colour to the palette.
Used like a colour scheme generator, the app lets you decide the colours while it records each one exactly.
Pull a palette together
- One photo — lift several coordinated tones at once.
- Real materials — combine colours across surfaces.
- On-screen shades — captured from a screenshot.
Keep each scheme as its own palette, organize by project, and export or share the codes. Because every value is universal, your scheme moves cleanly from screen to print or paint. Color Identifier is free to download, with your first captures free.
