Determine RGB, HSV, and Hex values for any color. Use the RGB Color Mixer to find the perfect color by using the sliders to adjust just the right amount of red, green, or blue. With v2.5, you can now tap on a value to edit it directly and RGBer will calculate all the other values. A Grayscale Meter makes determining the right mix of RGB values to get the gray you want. Select a photo from your photo library and tap on any part of the photo to get the RGB, HSV, and Hex values of that area in the image. Zoom and pan through your photo to find the spot you want to measure, then just tap the spot to get the values. RGBer lets you snap a photo, zoom and pan to the area that you want, and tap on the photo to get the RGB, HSV, and Hex values. Afterwards, you can save your new photo to your camera roll for later reference.

Use the camera to capture RGB values in real-time and convert them to the closest color name from a dictionary of nearly 900 colors. Also available: RYB, HSL and CMYK values, HTML color code, closest HTML color name, and simple color name. Touch a color square to view the information for that sample at any time. "Auto" uses the camera's auto focus and auto contrast adjustment feature. "Lock" fixes or locks the current contrast setting. And "Target" allows you to touch any area of the screen to select that spot as the source for the color sample (in cases where moving the device would disrupt the focus/contrast, or where the device is mounted in a fixed position). Manage named color sample sets on the Edit screen. After organizing a sample set, email the color samples with color chips, with color chips and a selected photo, or as text only. On the Options screen, select which color conversions to display, and set the spacial and temporal apertures from 1x1 to 50x50 pixels, and 1 to 30 frames. Touch the "Target" selector then touch the screen to move the sample location without moving the device. App Store screen shots simulated Photo copyright E.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RGBer at 100% against ColorAssist's 50%. RGBer also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). ColorAssist's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 37 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

RGBer is free to download; ColorAssist costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ColorAssist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of RGBer's written reviews are positive against 50% of ColorAssist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RGBer ships an update every 37 months, ColorAssist every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
