Sourcing colors for color picker UI design
When you’re doing color picker UI design, the hard part is often finding the right real color to start from. Color Identifier handles that side: it samples colors from the physical world or from reference images and hands you exact codes. It won’t lay out your interface, but it feeds your picker with precise, real values instead of rough guesses.
From reference to design
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Aim at an object, or tap a point in a reference image.
- Read the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
- Save and paste them into your design tool.
Used alongside your color picker UI design workflow, the app becomes the eyedropper for the real world.
Useful sources for designers
- Brand objects — products, packaging, signage.
- Reference screenshots — sample colors from inspiration shots.
- Materials — fabric, paper, paint chips you want to match.
Keep a working set
Save sampled colors into palettes, organize them by project, and export or share the codes with your team. With exact values in hand, the color side of your color picker UI design stays grounded in real, reproducible shades.
