An eye dropper tool that reaches beyond the screen
In most design software the eyedropper can only sample pixels already on your canvas. Color Identifier brings the same idea to your iPhone and points it at the world. As an eye dropper tool, it lets you tap a point in any photo or aim the camera at a real surface, then reads the true color at that exact spot.
How to pick a color
- Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo to tap a point in an image.
- Or choose Live Camera to aim at a real object.
- The eye dropper tool returns the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
Because it samples the actual pixel or surface, you get the genuine shade instead of a rough approximation.
Where it helps
- Recreating a look — lift a color straight from an inspiration photo.
- Brand matching — pick a tone from a logo or screenshot.
- Real-world capture — grab the color of a wall, fabric or product.
This eye dropper tool turns single picks into full sets: sample several points, save them into a palette, and export or share the codes. The values are universal, so each color works in any paint range, design app or document. The app is free to download with your first scans free.
