A color picker that goes beyond the screen
Desktop color pickers only reach pixels on a monitor. When you get color picker in Color Identifier, you also get the physical world: point your iPhone at anything and read its color, or tap a point in a photo like a classic eyedropper. One app covers both.
How to get color picker working
- Download Color Identifier (it’s free).
- Open it and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Point at an object, or tap a spot in an image.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
That’s all it takes to get color picker results — no setup, no extra hardware.
Two modes, one toolkit
- Live Camera — pick colors off walls, products, plants, fabric.
- From Photo — pick colors from screenshots, downloads, and saved shots.
A picker is most useful when the colors stick around. Save your picks into palettes, group them by project, and export or share the codes wherever you work, whether that’s a design file, a print spec, or a note for the paint store. Because the app is free to download and the first scans are free, it costs nothing to try the picker before you commit.
