Color Identifier

Hex Color Picker

Turn any real-world or photo color into a hex code you can copy.

A hex color picker that leaves the screen

Most pickers can only sample what’s already on a monitor. A true hex color picker should reach the color you actually see — a painted door, a product, a leaf. Color Identifier does: aim your iPhone with Live Camera and read the hex code live, or tap a point in a photo to sample it like an eyedropper.

From color to hex in seconds

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

This hex color picker turns a shade you spotted into a value you can paste into CSS or a design file.

One reading, every format

Hex handles the web, but a single pick also gives RGB for code and CMYK and Pantone for print. That means the color you grabbed stays consistent from screen to press without a second tool.

Save picks into palettes, organize them by project, and export or share the codes so they’re ready wherever you build. Color Identifier is free to download, with your first scans free.

Frequently asked questions

How does this hex color picker work?

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

Can it read a hex value from real life?

Yes. Live Camera reads physical objects and surfaces, not just on-screen pixels, then gives you the hex code for what you point at.

What else comes with the hex code?

Each reading includes RGB, CMYK and Pantone alongside Hex, so the same color works across web, UI and print.
