Sample real-world colors from camera or photos, calibrate with a white reference, and turn picks into practical values for design, paint, code, and sharing.
ColorPicker helps you sample colors from a live camera preview or a photo, then turn that color into practical values for design, paint, code, and sharing.
Features:
- live camera color picking
- photo-based sampling with precise repositioning
- white or neutral reference calibration to compensate for lighting in camera and photo picks
- formats that travel: RGB, RGB Hex, W3C, RAL, CMY, CMYK, HSV, LAB, LCH, and XYZ
- harmony at a glance with complementary, analogous, split-complementary, and triad sets
- save, load, copy, deep-link, and email useful color values
- sync saved colors through iCloud, then rename or delete them from your list
ColorPicker is built for quick, everyday color decisions by designers, developers, artists, and anyone matching colors from physical objects, inspiration photos, or real-world scenes. Calibration is useful when the same lighting makes a white or neutral reference appear tinted: set the reference, then keep picking under that lighting with a corrected reading.
(The color detection generally depends on the used camera and surrounding light conditions)

Identifies the color whether live from the camera or a photo

I do oil paintings and the challenge is always to isolate a color whether from a live scene or from an image I’m using as reference. This app is exactly what I need, showing the color where the app’s crosshairs are placed. Move the camera so the crosshairs are over the point of color, or if working off from an image in the photo album, move the image behind the crosshairs. The color indicated shows up as a band at the top of the screen, wide enough to make the color very clear and obvious. Excellent! I’m using iPhone 11 ProMax.
Simple and Efficient Color Picker

As a painter I want to see different subtleties in color and value. If I am struggling to know how to mix a color I can tap to see approximate ratios. I have used another app for awhile but already like the ease of this one better. I also like how I can enlarge and zoom into my photo and rotate it horizontally. Something my other app would not allow me to do. Thank you for making such a great app!
- Saved colors now sync through iCloud.
