Select the exact colour from an image
When the colour you want is buried in a picture, precision matters. As a colour selector from image, Color Identifier lets you tap a single point and reads the colour right there. It works like an eyedropper, so you select the precise pixel rather than an approximation of the overall scene.
How the selection works
- Open Color Identifier and tap From Photo.
- Choose the image — a screenshot, a download, or your own photo.
- Pinch to zoom, then tap the exact spot.
- Read the colour name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
With the colour selector from image, a single shade can be pulled cleanly out of a detailed picture without it blending into its surroundings.
Everyday uses
- Inspiration — select a colour from a saved mood board.
- Branding — capture an exact colour from a logo screenshot.
- Interiors — lift a wall or fabric tone from a room photo.
Choose a well-lit image and zoom in before you tap, so the colour selector from image reads the true colour rather than a shadow or highlight. Save each selection to a palette and export or share the codes. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first selections are free.
