Find A Paint Color From A Picture

Turn inspiration pics into paint codes you can actually buy.

Find a paint color from a picture you’ve saved

Inspiration usually arrives as an image — a room you bookmarked, a design photo you downloaded, a screenshot from a feed. Color Identifier lets you find a paint color from a picture without recreating the scene yourself. Open the saved image, tap the shade that caught your eye, and read its exact codes.

How it works

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
  2. Select the saved or downloaded picture from your library.
  3. Tap the exact color you want; it acts like an eyedropper for photos.
  4. Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values.
  5. Save it to a palette or export the codes for the paint store.

Build a whole scheme from one image

A single inspiration shot often holds a full palette — walls, trim, an accent. Tap each shade in turn to read it, then save them together so the relationships between colors carry through to your project. It beats trying to name “that warm greige” from memory.

Inspiration to paint can

When you find a paint color from a picture, the codes are universal, so you can match the closest shade in any brand’s range. Pick a clear, well-lit image and zoom in before tapping for the truest reading. Color Identifier is free to download, with your first scans free.
