Color Identifier

Paint Picker From Image

Tap a point in any image to pick the paint color and get matchable codes.

Pick a paint color straight from a photo

The room you want to match isn’t always in front of you, but a photo of it usually is. As a paint picker from image, Color Identifier lets you open any picture, tap the painted surface, and pick that exact color — then walk away with codes you can match anywhere. No second trip to the room required.

How to use the paint picker from image

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
  2. Load the image of the wall, door, or object.
  3. Tap the precise point you want to pick.
  4. Read the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes and save them.

Because a paint picker from image reads the single pixel you tap, you decide exactly which shade comes back — not an averaged guess across the frame.

Photos worth picking from

Once the paint picker from image gives you a reading, the codes are universal and match the closest shade in any brand’s range. Save each pick to a palette so the color is there when you finally buy.

Frequently asked questions

How does a paint picker from image work?

Open the photo in From Photo and tap the spot you want. Color Identifier picks that exact pixel's color and shows its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.

Can I pick from a screenshot too?

Yes. Any image in your library works, including screenshots — tap the area and the app reads that color.

What if the image has a few different shades?

The eyedropper reads exactly where you tap, so you control which shade you pick. Tap again on a different spot to pick another.
