Identify wall paint with no records
The previous owner rarely leaves the paint cans behind. Color Identifier is a wall paint identifier that reads the color straight off the wall, so a missing record stops being a problem — point your iPhone at a clean section, or tap it in a photo, and the current paint color comes back with codes you can match anywhere.
How the wall paint identifier works
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Aim at a clean, evenly lit section of the wall.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
- Save the reading to take shopping.
A wall paint identifier that runs live or from a photo handles a wall in front of you or one you only photographed.
Where it helps most
- Touch-ups that need to disappear into the existing paint.
- Repairs after fittings, shelves, or sockets come down.
- Planning a new scheme around the wall’s real color.
Because a wall paint identifier gives universal codes, the result matches the closest shade in any brand’s range. Walls fade unevenly, so scan in bright, even, natural light and take a couple of readings across the wall. Save each room to a palette so the codes are ready at the counter. It’s free to download with your first scans free.
