Color Identifier

Paint Matcher

Scan or tap to capture a paint color and match it in any brand's range.

A paint matcher that speaks every brand

The hard part of matching paint isn’t the can — it’s knowing what color you’re chasing. Color Identifier is a paint matcher that reads the color first, then hands you the codes to find it anywhere. Scan the wall you want to repaint, or point at a cushion whose shade you want on the walls, and you’ve got an exact target instead of a guess.

How the paint matcher works

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
  2. Point at the surface or tap a point in a photo.
  3. Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
  4. Save the reading to take shopping.

Because a paint matcher built around codes isn’t locked to one brand, the values match the nearest shade in any range you like.

What you can match

A good paint matcher depends on light, so scan in bright, even, natural light and take a couple of readings on uneven surfaces. Save matches into palettes and export the codes so they’re ready at the counter. It’s a free download with your first scans free.

Frequently asked questions

How does a paint matcher find the right color?

Color Identifier reads the color from your camera or a photo and gives its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes. You use those codes to find the closest match in any brand's range.

Can it match a color I see out in the world?

Yes. With Live Camera, point at any object or surface and it reads the color on the spot — useful when the thing you want to match isn't paint yet.

Is it tied to one paint brand?

No. It has no brand database and never names brands. The codes are universal, so they work with whatever range you choose to shop.
