Find the color living in a photo
A picture can hold dozens of shades, and the one you care about is rarely obvious by name. The simplest way to identify color from image is to tap it. Color Identifier reads the exact pixel you choose, like an eyedropper for photos, and tells you the color along with its codes.
How to identify color from image
- Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
- Select the picture, screenshot, or download.
- Zoom in and tap the precise spot.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
Sampling the real pixels means you identify color from image as it actually is, not as a rough guess.
From one color to a full palette
Tap several points across the same picture to map its colors — subject, background, an accent in the corner. Save them together as a palette so the relationships hold up later.
Once identified, a color is yours to reuse. Export or share the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values to match paint, drop into a design, or carry into print. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first scans are free.
