Color Identifier: ColorScan

Color Identifier: ColorScan — Color Picker & Palette Generator

Point your camera at anything and know exactly what color you are looking at.
A wall you want to repaint, a fabric you need to match, a logo you have to
rebuild in hex — Color Identifier: ColorScan turns it into a precise color,
a name, and the closest matches from real paint and design catalogs.

IDENTIFY COLORS FROM A PHOTO OR LIVE CAMERA
Take a picture or move the crosshair across the live preview and read the color
in real time. The app extracts the dominant colors of a shot and shows how much
of the frame each one covers, so you get the color that actually matters, not
the one your eye happened to land on.

MATCHES YOU CAN TRUST
Every match is computed on your device with CIEDE2000, the industry standard
for perceptual color difference. That is where the match percentage comes from —
no guesswork, no invented codes. Your color is compared against:

• Curated paint collections from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Behr and
Farrow & Ball
• RAL Classic, the industrial standard (213 shades)
• A print and textile reference for physical production work
• Material Design, Tailwind CSS and the CSS named colors for digital work

Because the matching engine runs locally, results are instant and identical
every single time — the same shot always gives the same answer.

A FULL COLOR PICKER & PALETTE GENERATOR
Identify colors is only the start. The built-in tools turn any color into a
usable set:

• Convert instantly between HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK and LAB — tap any value to copy
• Generate harmonies: complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, split
complementary and monochromatic
• Check WCAG contrast against black and white before you ship a design
• Build and name your own palettes, add colors by scan or by hex, and keep them
organized per project
• Browse your full scan history and return to any color you captured

UNDERSTANDS THE SHOT, NOT JUST THE PIXEL
Alongside the measured result, ColorScan describes the conditions of your photo
in plain language — the lighting, the finish, the likely material, and where the
color works well. It never touches the numbers: the codes and percentages always
come from the on-device engine.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH COLOR
Painters and decorators matching an existing wall. Interior designers building a
scheme from a single fabric. Graphic and web designers pulling a brand color out
of a photo. Artists mixing from a reference. Anyone who has ever stood in a
hardware store holding a paint chip against their phone screen.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account, no sign-up, no profile. Your scans, palettes and history stay on
your device.

AN HONEST NOTE ON ACCURACY
Screens and lighting vary, and the bundled paint collections are curated
selections of widely published colors, not licensed manufacturer fandecks. Treat
every paint result as a strong starting point and confirm with a physical sample
before you buy twenty liters of it.
