Your camera as a color picker
The camera you already carry can do more than take photos. As a color picker with camera, Color Identifier turns it into a live sampler: open Live Camera, point your iPhone at a wall, a fabric, a plant, or a label, and the color name and codes appear as you move.
How the camera picker works
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera.
- Point at the object or surface you want to read.
- Watch the color update live as you reframe.
- Read the name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
Because a color picker with camera reads in real time, you can sweep across a surface and compare shades without stopping to capture anything.
Camera, or a saved image
- Live Camera — read real objects the moment you point.
- From Photo — tap a point in a saved picture instead.
- Both — switch freely depending on what’s in front of you.
Save what the camera finds
When a live reading lands on a color worth keeping, save it to a palette so it doesn’t slip away. Using the camera to build palettes on the spot means the codes are ready to export or share later, wherever you are. It’s free to download, with your first scans free.
