## What is Color Identifier?

What color is that? Now you'll always know.

Color is the fastest way to capture, identify, and organize colors from the world around you. Point your camera at anything, tap to capture, and instantly get the color name, HEX, RGB, and HSL values.

INSTANT COLOR CAPTURE

Use your camera as a real-time color picker. The movable reticle lets you pinpoint exactly the color you want. Capture it with one tap and save it to your library.

EXTRACT FROM PHOTOS

Import any photo and tap anywhere to extract colors. Build palettes from your favorite images, artwork, or inspiration photos. Extract up to 12 colors from each image.

SMART COLOR NAMING

Every captured color is automatically named using an extensive color database. Know exactly what "that shade of blue" is called - whether it's Cerulean, Cornflower, or Cobalt.

CREATE HARMONIOUS PALETTES

Generate beautiful color palettes using classic color theory. Choose from complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, tetradic, or monochromatic harmonies.

AI PALETTE GENERATION (Pro)

Describe any mood, theme, or scene and let AI create the perfect palette for you. "Sunset beach," "cozy autumn cabin," or "minimalist modern" - just describe it and watch your palette come to life.

PROFESSIONAL COLOR FORMATS

Copy colors in the format you need:
- HEX codes for web design
- RGB values for digital work
- HSL for precise adjustments

Pro users get access to CMYK, Pantone, RAL, and LAB formats for professional workflows.

EXPORT YOUR WORK (Pro)

Export your colors and palettes in multiple formats:
- PNG images for sharing
- SVG for vector graphics
- ASE for Adobe applications
