Start from the color, not a guess

Whether you’re extending a scheme or patching a wall, the goal is the same: find paint color match for a shade that already exists. Color Identifier reads that shade directly rather than asking you to name it. Point your iPhone at the surface with Live Camera, or tap it in a photo, and exact codes come back.

How to find paint color match

  1. Open Color Identifier.
  2. Use Live Camera on the real surface, or From Photo on an image.
  3. Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values.
  4. Save the codes and take them to any brand to match.

Why codes beat eyeballing

Lighting changes how a color looks from minute to minute, so matching by eye at the store is a gamble. Codes don’t drift. When you find paint color match as values, the paint counter has something exact to work from in whichever brand you choose.

Touch-ups have a way of arriving months after the project. Save each match into a palette so the codes are ready when a scuff appears, and export or share them with a painter when you need to. Color Identifier is free to download, with your first scans free.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find paint color match for an existing wall?

Point Color Identifier at the wall with Live Camera, or tap it in a photo. It returns Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes you can match to paint in any brand.

What if I only have a small sample?

A single swatch, a chip, or even a photo of the surface is enough. Read it once and you have codes to match the rest.

Can I reuse the match later?

Yes. Save the codes into a palette so the same color is on hand for touch-ups or a second coat months down the line.
