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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ColorAssist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ColorAssist has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ColorAssist's written reviews are positive against 100% of Make It Dark Mode's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ColorAssist ships an update every 5 months, Make It Dark Mode every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
