Free · In‑App Purchases
What is the name of this color?
Point your camera at an object and Color Name Recognizer Camera identifies the color in real time. Along with a human-readable name, the app shows RGB, hexadecimal, HSV, and CIE L*a*b values for the sampled color.
Choose a simple color-name table for familiar names or a larger table for more specific results. Free users can select tables containing up to 50 base color names. The 100-name table requires Premium. Premium users can use multilingual tables containing up to 1,500 names.

COLOR VALUES
RGB components are shown from 0 to 255. Hexadecimal values use the #RRGGBB format. HSV shows hue, saturation, and value. CIE L*a*b uses the D65 reference white and provides a perceptual representation of color.
Recognition results can vary with lighting, reflections, camera exposure, and device characteristics. The app is an identification aid and is not a calibrated colorimeter.
Color Vision Assistant simulations and confusion advisories are estimates for accessibility and design review. They are not a medical test or diagnosis and do not represent every person's perception.
