Color Identifier

Identify Color By Image

Open a photo, tap a point, and learn exactly what color it is.

Let the image tell you the color

When a shade lives inside a picture, guessing its name rarely works. To identify color by image, let Color Identifier read the actual pixel. Choose From Photo, open the picture, and tap the spot — the app works like an eyedropper, naming the color and showing its codes.

How to identify color by image

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
  2. Select any photo, screenshot, or download.
  3. Tap the exact point you want to read.
  4. Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.

Because it samples the real pixels, the result is the color that’s truly there.

Why work from an image

Each time you identify color by image, you can save the reading into a palette so a whole scheme stays together, then export or share the codes for your other tools. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first scans are free.
