Color Identifier

Colour Picker From Photo

Tap a spot in any photo and pick that colour exactly.

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

  1. Open Color Identifier and tap From Photo.
  2. Choose the photo — a snap, a screenshot, or a download.
  3. Pinch to zoom, then tap the exact spot.
  4. Read the colour name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
  5. 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.
