Color Identifier

Color Identification Online

Identify colors anywhere with a free iPhone app instead of a clunky web tool.

A simpler path than color identification online

Searching for color identification online usually leads to web tools that are awkward on a phone — you have to upload a file, zoom around, and hope the result is accurate. Color Identifier skips all that. It’s a free iPhone app that identifies colors directly from your camera or photo library.

How color identification works in the app

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera to read a real object.
  2. Or choose From Photo to tap a point in any image you already have.
  3. Get the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.

Instead of clunky color identification online, you get a tap-and-read experience built for the phone in your hand.

What you can identify

Keep and reuse your results

Save each identified color into a palette, then export or share the codes. The values are universal, so anything you identify works with any paint range, design app, or document — no website required.

Frequently asked questions

Can I do color identification online?

You can, but a dedicated app is usually easier on a phone. Color Identifier handles color identification from your camera or photos and returns Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.

Why use the app instead of a website?

The app adds a Live Camera mode for real objects and a tap-to-sample eyedropper for photos, which most online tools can't do on a phone.

Is it free?

Color Identifier is free to download and your first scans are free, so it's an easy alternative to fiddly online tools.
