Color Identifier

Get Color

Pull any color off the real world or a photo, with codes attached.

Grab the color, keep the codes

Sometimes you just want to get color from something in front of you — a flower, a label, a paint chip — and know exactly what it is. Color Identifier does that two ways. Use Live Camera to aim at any real object or surface and read it live, or switch to From Photo to open a saved image and tap the exact point. Each reading returns the color name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values.

How it works

  1. Open Color Identifier.
  2. Choose Live Camera, or From Photo for a saved image.
  3. Point or tap to get color from the spot you want.
  4. Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
  5. Save the reading to a palette.

Use it anywhere

A color you can name and copy is far more useful than one you only saw. Pull a shade from a product while you shop, from a screenshot mid-scroll, or from a wall at home, then store the readings in palettes and export or share the codes whenever you need them. It works just as well for a quick curiosity check as for serious design or paint work. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first scans are free.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get color from an object?

Open Color Identifier and use Live Camera. Point at the object and the color reads as you move, giving the name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.

Can I get color from a photo instead?

Yes. Switch to From Photo, open any image or screenshot, and tap the spot. It samples that pixel and returns the same set of codes.

What do I get with each reading?

A color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values, ready to copy, save into a palette, or share.
