Start a complementary color finder with the real shade
Any complementary color finder is only as good as the color you feed it. Color Identifier gives you that exact starting point: point your iPhone at a real object or tap a point in a photo, and capture the precise color with its codes. From an accurate base, finding the complementary shade across the color wheel becomes far more reliable than eyeballing it.
Capture an exact base color
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Point at the object, or tap the precise spot in your image.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
- Save it to a palette as your base color.
With a true Hex or RGB value in hand, your complementary color finder work rests on the real shade rather than a rough guess.
Build palettes around it
- Capture the anchor color from a product, room, or photo.
- Record its exact codes so the pairing is repeatable.
- Save and share the colors you settle on for your project.
A clean, exact base color also makes complementary pairs translate properly into print, since you carry CMYK and Pantone alongside Hex and RGB. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first readings are free, so you can start capturing base colors today.
