A color identifier built for paint
Holding chips up to a wall and squinting is a slow way to name a color. A paint color identifier does it on screen in seconds. Color Identifier reads the shade off the surface, tells you what it is, and shows the codes that make it matchable — no fan deck, no guesswork about which chip is closest.
Using the paint color identifier
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Aim at a clean, well-lit patch of paint, or tap a point in a photo.
- Read the color name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values.
- Save the reading to a palette for later.
A paint color identifier reads the light coming off the surface, so the cleaner and brighter the spot, the truer the result. It works on walls in a home with no paint records, on trim and doors that need a matching touch-up, and on furniture and cabinets you want to refresh.
From a name to a can
The identifier ends with codes rather than a brand label, which keeps you flexible. Universal values let you walk into any shop and match the closest shade in any brand. Save the reading first so the codes are waiting when you head out to buy.
