Pull the exact shade out of a photo

You spotted a color you love inside a picture and want its real values, not a guess. Color Identifier lets you identify color of image files straight from your camera roll: open the photo, tap the point, and read the shade. It works like an eyedropper for your phone, so the color you tap is the color you get.

How to identify color of image files

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
  2. Load any image — a photo, a screenshot, or a download.
  3. Tap the precise point you want to read.
  4. See the color name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.

Because the app reads a single pixel, you can identify color of image details as small as a single petal, button, or pixel of a logo.

Where it helps and how to keep it

People reach for this to lift a tone from a saved inspiration shot, to sample a screenshot of a logo and match its exact value, or to grab the shades from a room or outfit photo. One image can hold a whole scheme, so sample a few points and save them into a palette, then export or share the codes with your other tools. The app is free to download with your first reads free, so you can open a photo and start reading colors right away.

Frequently asked questions

How do I identify the color of an image?

Open Color Identifier, choose From Photo, load the image, and tap the spot you care about. The app names that color and shows its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.

Does it read the whole image or one point?

It reads the exact pixel where you tap, so you can target one detail rather than averaging the whole picture into a single muddy shade.

Can I sample several colors from one image?

Yes. Tap different points across the image to capture multiple colors, then save them together as a palette.
