Color Identifier

Find Paint Color

Turn any color you love into paint — capture the inspiration, get the codes, recreate it.

From inspiration to paint color

Inspiration shows up everywhere — a café wall, a favorite jacket, a photo from a trip. The hard part is turning that feeling into something you can actually buy. Color Identifier helps you find paint color matches for any color that catches your eye, so the shade you loved becomes paint you can put on the wall.

Capture the color you love

Found your inspiration? Grab the color two ways:

  1. Live Camera — point at the real object and read its color live.
  2. From Photo — open a saved image or screenshot and tap the exact spot.

Each reading returns a color name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values.

Carry it to the paint counter

Those codes are your starting point to find paint color options in any brand’s range. Because the values are universal, you’re not limited to one store — show the code, find the closest match, and pick the finish you want. Lighting changes how a shade reads, so scanning your inspiration in bright, even light gives the truest result before you shop.

Save your inspiration palette

Building a room around a few colors? Save each scan into a palette so every shade stays together, organized by project, then export the codes when you’re ready to shop or to send to a decorator. That way the wall you loved in a photo and the cushion you spotted in a shop end up side by side, ready to become a cohesive scheme. Color Identifier is free to download, with free scans to begin.

Frequently asked questions

Can I find a paint color from something I saw?

Yes. Scan the object or a photo of it, and Color Identifier gives you the exact color codes so you can find paint that recreates it.

Does the inspiration have to be a wall?

Not at all — a cushion, a sunset photo, a mug, a magazine page. If you can point your camera at it or open it in a photo, you can capture the color.

Will the color match exactly in paint?

The codes are precise, but paint finishes and lighting shift how a color reads. Use the values to find the closest match, then test a sample on the wall.
