Let the photo carry the color

A photo freezes a shade so you can study it properly. To find paint color from photo, open the image in Color Identifier, tap the spot you want, and the app reads that pixel like an eyedropper — no color-matching by memory, no holding chips to the screen.

How to find paint color from photo

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
  2. Select the inspiration or reference image.
  3. Tap the exact area whose color you want.
  4. Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
  5. Save to a palette or share for the paint store.

From photo to paint can

A single photo helps in many places — lift a wall color from a saved interior, match paint to a piece of furniture in frame, or pull a shade from a design screenshot. Because the codes are universal, once you find paint color from photo you can match the closest shade in any brand’s range. Capture several points from one image to build a full scheme, save them together, and the values stay organized when you buy. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first scans are free.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find paint color from photo?

Open Color Identifier, choose From Photo, pick the image, and tap the shade. It returns the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes to match to paint.

Does it matter how the photo was taken?

A sharp, evenly lit photo gives the best result. Avoid glare and heavy shadow, and zoom in before tapping so you sample the color you actually mean.

Can I share the codes with a painter or store?

Yes. Save the reading to a palette, then export or share the codes so a pro or the paint counter has the exact values.
