Take a picture and find paint color fast
Sometimes the easiest move is to just shoot it. Take a picture and find paint color in three taps: capture the wall, cabinet, or fabric, open the photo in Color Identifier, and tap the shade you want. The app reads that exact point and turns it into codes you can take anywhere.
Step by step
- Photograph the surface, filling the frame with the color in good light.
- Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
- Select the picture you just took.
- Tap the precise spot — it works like an eyedropper for photos.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes, then save or share them.
Photo or live — your call
Prefer not to stop and frame a shot? Live Camera reads colors as you point, in real time. The photo route shines when the surface is across the room, up high, or you want to capture it now and match later. Either mode gives you the same set of codes.
From snapshot to paint can
Once you take a picture and find paint color, the codes are universal — walk into any store and find the closest match in that brand’s range, or hand them to a mixing desk. Color Identifier is free to download, with your first scans free.
