Get an exact paint color match

A good paint color match starts with knowing exactly what color you’re matching. Color Identifier reads the precise color from any surface or image and converts it into codes you can take to the store or mixing desk — so the new paint actually matches the old.

How to match a paint color

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
  2. Point at (or tap) the color you want to match.
  3. Read its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values.
  4. Save or export the code to match or mix your paint.

Tips for an accurate match

Lighting is everything. Scan in bright, even, natural light, avoid shadows and glare, and take a couple of readings from different spots — surfaces fade and reflect unevenly.

Take the match anywhere

The codes work with any brand’s range, so you’re never locked into one store to complete the paint color match.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an exact paint color match?

Scan the color with Color Identifier, then use the Hex, RGB, CMYK or Pantone code it gives you to find or mix matching paint. Scanning in good light makes the match more accurate.

Can I match paint from a photo?

Yes — pick any photo or screenshot from your library and tap the color you want to match.

How accurate is the match?

It depends mostly on lighting. Bright, even, natural light gives the truest reading; scan a few spots and compare if you're unsure.
