Fantastic app that was supported on my older iPhone

This app did exactly what I needed, which was to generate the hex color code from a portion of a photo. It even includes the closest Pantone color as well for your convenience. It is currently ad sponsored but they are not at all obnoxious. I was grateful that it worked on my older iPhone 8 Plus, which can’t be upgraded beyond iOS 16.x I highly recommend this app!
