Identify what’s on the wall
Before you match, extend, or replace a wall colour, you need to know what’s actually there. Color Identifier is a wall colour identifier that tells you exactly that — point your iPhone at a clean section of wall, or tap it in a photo, and the current colour comes back with codes, so you’re working from the real shade rather than a label someone wrote down years ago.
How the wall colour identifier works
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Aim at a clean, evenly lit section of the wall.
- Read the colour name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
- Save the reading for matching or comparison.
A wall colour identifier that works live or from a photo lets you read a wall in front of you or one you only have a picture of.
What it makes easier
- Touch-ups that blend into the existing colour.
- Redecorating where you want to coordinate or contrast.
- Records of each room’s colour, kept in one place.
Because a wall colour identifier gives universal codes, the result matches the closest shade in any brand’s range. Scan in bright, even, natural light and take a couple of readings, since walls fade unevenly. Save each room to a palette so the codes are ready when you shop.
