Pick your scheme from the colors in front of you
A color scheme picker is usually a panel of swatches you click through on a screen. Color Identifier offers a more grounded approach: you pick the colors directly from the real world or from any image. Point your iPhone at something, or tap a spot in a photo, and the exact shade is captured with its codes — ready to become part of your scheme.
Pick, read, and save
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Point at an object, or tap the precise point in an image.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
- Save each pick into the same palette.
Working as a color scheme picker, the app keeps every selection exact, so your scheme reflects the real colors you chose.
Where to pick from
- Inspiration shots — a photo that already has the mood you want.
- Physical objects — fabric, packaging, paint chips, nature.
- Screens — colors from a website or app via a screenshot.
Once you have picked your colors, save them as a palette, organize by project, and export or share the codes. The values work anywhere — design tools, print specs, or the paint counter. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first picks are free.
