Pick a colour out of any photo
Saw a colour you love in a snapshot and want it exactly? A colour picker from photo lets you tap the precise spot rather than guess. Color Identifier opens your picture, lets you tap a single point, and reads the colour right there — like an eyedropper that works on any photo in your library.
A quick walkthrough
- Open Color Identifier and tap From Photo.
- Choose the photo — a snap, a screenshot, or a download.
- Pinch to zoom, then tap the exact spot.
- Read the colour name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
- Save it to a palette or share the codes.
With the colour picker from photo, a single shade can be lifted cleanly from a busy image instead of getting lost in everything around it.
Get the truest reading
Photos vary in light, so a little care pays off. Choose a well-lit picture and zoom in before you tap, so you catch the real colour rather than a shadow or a glare. Once you have it, the colour picker from photo gives you universal codes that drop into design tools or a paint order in any brand’s range. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first picks are free.
