Color Identifier

Hex Color Chart Picker

Get the exact Hex of a real color instead of hunting a chart.

Beyond a hex color chart picker

A hex color chart picker has you eyeball a grid of swatches and pick the Hex closest to what you want. That works for rough matches, but it is slow and imprecise when you already have a real color in front of you. Color Identifier skips the chart entirely: it reads the exact Hex of an actual color, so there is no hunting and no “close enough.”

Read the exact Hex directly

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
  2. Aim at an object, or tap a precise point in an image.
  3. Read the Hex code plus RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
  4. Save it to a palette to reuse later.

Where a hex color chart picker gives you the nearest tile, this gives you the true value sampled from the pixel itself.

Use the codes everywhere

Treat it as a hex color chart picker that reads reality: capture several colors, save them into palettes, and export or share the codes. The app is free to download with your first scans free.

Frequently asked questions

Is Color Identifier a hex color chart picker?

Not quite. Instead of scanning a chart to find a near match, it reads the exact Hex of a real color you point at or tap in a photo, along with RGB, CMYK and Pantone.

How do I get the hex of a specific color?

Aim Live Camera at the object, or open a photo and tap the spot. The app returns that pixel's Hex code instantly.

Can I save the hex codes I find?

Yes. Save each color into a palette and export or share the Hex and other codes.
