Color Identifier

Hex Code Colour Picker

Get the hex code for any colour, from the real world or a photo.

Get the hex code for any colour

Web and UI work runs on hex values, but the colour you want is often out in the world or buried in an image. A hex code colour picker bridges that gap. Color Identifier reads a shade from a real object via Live Camera, or from a photo when you tap a point, and hands back its hex code right away.

How to use the hex code colour picker

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
  2. Point at the object, or tap the exact pixel in your image.
  3. Read the Hex code plus RGB, CMYK and Pantone values.
  4. Copy the hex, or save it to a palette for later.

A quick reading from this hex code colour picker drops straight into CSS, a design file, or a UI component.

Hex and beyond

Hex is perfect for screens, but projects rarely stop there. Each reading also includes RGB for code, plus CMYK and Pantone for print, so one pick covers the whole pipeline rather than just the browser.

Build palettes from the hex codes you gather, organize them by project, and export or share so the exact values land wherever you build. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first scans are free.

Frequently asked questions

How does a hex code colour picker work here?

Point Color Identifier at an object with Live Camera, or tap a spot in a photo. It returns the Hex code along with RGB, CMYK and Pantone values.

Can I get a hex code from a screenshot?

Yes. Choose From Photo, open any image or screenshot, and tap the spot to read its hex code.

Does it give more than the hex value?

Yes. Alongside the Hex code you get RGB, CMYK and Pantone, so the same colour carries from web to UI to print.
