ColorPicker helps you sample colors from a live camera preview or a photo, then turn that color into practical values for design, paint, code, and sharing. Features: - live camera color picking - photo-based sampling with precise repositioning - white or neutral reference calibration to compensate for lighting in camera and photo picks - formats that travel: RGB, RGB Hex, W3C, RAL, CMY, CMYK, HSV, LAB, LCH, and XYZ - harmony at a glance with complementary, analogous, split-complementary, and triad sets - save, load, copy, deep-link, and email useful color values ColorPicker is built for quick, everyday color decisions by designers, developers, artists, and anyone matching colors from physical objects, inspiration photos, or real-world scenes. Calibration is useful when the same lighting makes a white or neutral reference appear tinted: set the reference, then keep picking under that lighting with a corrected reading. (The color detection generally depends on the used camera and surrounding light conditions)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UCam Plus at none against ColorPicker's 1. UCam Plus also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 32%) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). ColorPicker's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 2.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ColorPicker holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UCam Plus has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of ColorPicker's written reviews are positive against 60% of UCam Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
