A different way to pick a color
A color wheel picker lets you spin and drag to land on a hue. That is great for inventing a color from scratch, but often you already have a color in mind — one you can see in a room, a product, or a photo. Color Identifier picks that exact shade for you: aim your iPhone or tap a point in an image, and it captures the color with its codes.
Pick the real shade, get every value
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Point at an object, or tap the exact spot in your image.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
- Save it to a palette for later.
Where a color wheel picker asks you to find a hue by eye, this hands you the precise value of a color that already exists.
When real beats the wheel
- Matching something physical — a wall, fabric, or label.
- Recreating a photo’s tones — capture them exactly.
- Pulling on-screen colors — from a screenshot.
Save your picks into palettes, organize by project, and export or share the codes for any tool, document, or paint range. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first picks are free.
