Settle the question in one tap

“Is that teal or just a dark cyan?” Screens and photos make colors hard to name by eye. The quickest way to find out what color is in an image is to let the app read the actual pixel. Color Identifier works like an eyedropper for photos: open the image, tap the area in question, and it tells you the color and its codes.

A single tap returns the color name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values. The name answers the everyday question, while the codes let you reuse the exact shade in design files, paint matching, or anywhere else.

How to find out what color is in an image

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
  2. Select any picture, screenshot, or download.
  3. Tap the precise spot you’re curious about.
  4. Read the color name and codes.

Beyond a single check

Once you can find out what color is in an image, it’s easy to map a whole picture: tap the background, the subject, an accent, and compare. Save the readings into a palette so the answers stick around, then export or share them. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first scans are free.
