Pull a paint color straight out of a photo

The wall color you love is often already captured somewhere — a listing photo, a saved interior, a frame from a video. Color Identifier lets you find a paint color from an image instead of guessing the name by eye. Open the picture, tap the shade, and the app reads that exact spot like an eyedropper for photos.

How it works

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
  2. Select the image from your camera roll.
  3. Tap the precise area whose color you want.
  4. Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
  5. Save it to a palette or share the codes for the paint counter.

From a single shot to a full scheme

One photo usually carries more than one color — a main wall, the trim, a deeper accent in the shadows. Tap each in turn to find a paint color from an image for every part of the room, then keep them together in a saved palette so the relationships hold up when you buy. For the truest reading, pick a sharp, well-lit photo and zoom in before you tap. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first scans are free.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a paint color from an image?

Open Color Identifier, choose From Photo, pick the image, and tap the shade. It returns the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes to match to paint.

What kinds of images work?

Any image in your library: a saved room photo, a downloaded design, a screenshot, or a magazine snap you took. Tap the exact point you want to read.

Are the codes tied to one paint brand?

No. The Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values are universal, so you can match the closest shade in any brand's range at the store.
