Match a color from a photo you already have
Maybe you snapped a friend’s living room, or a paint swatch you liked in a showroom. You do not need to be standing in front of the wall anymore — Color Identifier lets you match paint color from picture files on your phone. Open the photo, tap the painted area, and the app reads that shade and hands you matchable codes.
How to match paint color from picture files
- Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
- Load the photo of the painted surface.
- Tap a clean section of the paint, away from glare or shadow.
- Read the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes and save them.
Being able to match paint color from picture files means a color you saw weeks ago is still recoverable, as long as you have the photo.
Codes that travel to any store
This is the move when a photo is all you have: a room you visited but cannot return to, a swatch or sample you photographed instead of taking, or an old project shot from before the paint records were lost. The app gives you codes, not a label, and that is the flexible part. Universal values mean you can walk into any shop and find the closest match in any brand. Save the reading to a palette first, and the codes are ready whenever you make the trip.
