iPhone
Pull a whole palette out of any photo - dominant, supporting and accent - or identify one color from the camera. No subscription, one-time Pro unlock.
Hue Check - Color Picker
See the exact color. Keep the context.
Point your iPhone camera at any surface and Hue Check identifies the color in real time. Or import a photo and tap any pixel. Get the color name, hex code, RGB and HSB values instantly - then save it into an organized Project.
No guessing. No subscriptions. No account required.
WHAT IT DOES
- Live camera sampling - aim the crosshair at a wall, fabric, flower, product, printed material or anything around you and watch the readout update in real time.
- Import Photo - choose an image from your library and tap a pixel for the same precise color detail as the live camera. The saved color keeps a compact source image and marker showing where it was sampled.
- Automatic palette from a photo - Hue Check reads the photo and gives you its dominant, supporting and accent colors. Every color it reports is a real pixel of your photo, and tapping one moves the crosshair to show you where it came from. Save the whole set in one tap. Free for everyone.
- Precise color identification - a 3x3 pixel sampling region and Lab-space matching against 2,300+ named colors gives you the closest real name, not a vague approximation.
- Hex, RGB and HSB - all the values designers, developers, decorators and makers need in one clear readout.
- Lock to freeze - hold a reading steady before you copy or save it.
- Copy hex instantly - tap the hex value to copy #RRGGBB to your clipboard.
- Save to Projects - create Projects such as Living Room, Brand Colors or Website Redesign. Choose a Camera or Photo save target and new colors land there automatically.
- Notes and source context - add a note to any saved color and revisit the source image and sampled point from its detail screen.
YOUR PALETTE
Browse saved colors in project sections with compact previews, full project palettes and an Unsorted section for colors without a project. Assign or move a color whenever you need. Deleting a project keeps its colors safe and moves them to Unsorted.
Free users can save up to 5 colors globally. Projects do not bypass the free limit.
FOR DESIGNERS
Capture exact colors from physical references, materials and brand samples. Keep a project for each client or visual system.
FOR DECORATORS & PAINTERS
Match a wall, fabric, tile or piece of furniture before you visit the paint store. Keep the source photo and a note with the color.
FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Pull precise colors from a shot or scene and build a reference palette without losing where each color came from.
FOR DEVELOPERS
Copy hex or RGB values directly to the clipboard. Keep web and app colors together in a Project.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Hue Check now speaks your language - and it introduces itself the first time you open it.
- The app itself is translated, not just its App Store page: Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Vietnamese, alongside US, British and Australian English. Every screen, button and setting.
- New here? A short five-screen walkthrough runs the first time you open the app, so you know what Hue Check does before you point it at anything. It ends by asking for the camera, with a clear way to work from photos instead if you would rather not grant it.
- Seen it already? You will not see it again, and you can replay it any time from Settings.
The 2,300+ color names themselves are still English.
