What's New in ColorPicker

4.1.0

June 24, 2026

White-reference calibration is here. Set a white or neutral reference under the same light, then keep picking camera and photo colors with a corrected reading. - New white-reference calibration helps compensate for lighting shifts when picking from the camera or photos. - Results can show the original sample and corrected color, so you can keep the measurement context. - Calibration works per source, keeping camera and photo references separate for more predictable picks.

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.

Very disappointed

Tested this against a RAL colour chart prior to using it in anger to have a customer colour made for a project. It didn’t agree with the RAL colour chart on any colours so I can’t use it. Waste of money.

Apple Xs iPhone

Purchased shutter blinds that turned out to be made in China. Prior to ordering I had asked the UK Supplier if their blinds were made in Uk and they said yes but after placing my order it was revealed they were made in China. I know I should have cancelled but regrettable let it go ahead. After making enquiry to have the RAL code the supplier said they didn’t have it, therefore fortunately I have been able to match the colour using this APP. Brilliant App and would recommend.

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!
