Identify Color from Photo

Tap any photo to identify its color

Open the app and import a photo from your camera roll or take one with your camera. Tap anywhere on the image and the app instantly samples the color at that point, returning the color name, hex code, RGB values, and CMYK values all at once. You can tap multiple points in the same photo to build a palette of all the colors present.

The color name is drawn from a database of thousands of named colors — not just generic labels like “blue” but precise names like “Dusty Cornflower” or “Warm Sage” — giving you language to communicate the color accurately to others.

From photo color to paint brand match

For every color you identify, the app shows the nearest matching paint colors from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, Valspar, and other major brands. This bridges the gap between seeing a color and being able to buy it.

Results are ranked by color distance so you see the closest match first. If the top match is not quite right, you can browse the next closest options and preview each in your room.

Extract color palettes from any image

Instead of tapping individual points, use palette extraction to automatically identify the dominant colors across an entire image. The app clusters similar colors and presents the top 5–8 distinct colors as a palette.

Export the palette as a swatch sheet with all hex, RGB, and paint codes included — a format designers and contractors can work with directly.

Color accessibility checking

For designers building digital products, the app checks the contrast ratio between any two identified colors against WCAG accessibility standards. Paste your identified hex codes into the contrast checker and immediately see whether the combination meets AA or AAA standards.

This makes the app useful beyond physical paint matching — it also works as a quick accessibility audit tool for UI color combinations.
