Pick the paint color, not a best guess
Choosing paint is easier when you can pick the exact color you mean. Color Identifier is a paint picker that grabs the shade straight off a surface — point your iPhone at a wall and read it live, or tap a spot in a photo to pick it from there. Either way you end up with a precise color, not a label like “warm grey” that means something different in every shop.
How to pick a paint color
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Point at the painted surface, or tap a point in an image.
- Read the color name and its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
- Save the pick to a palette.
A paint picker that works both live and from photos means you can pick on the spot or pick later from a snapshot.
Where picking helps
- Touch-ups where you need the wall’s current color.
- Inspiration picked from an object you want recreated.
- Comparisons between a few candidate shades.
Because the paint picker gives universal codes, your pick matches the closest shade in any brand’s range. Pick in bright, even light for accuracy, and save each color so it’s ready when you reach the paint counter.
