Or color-match yarn that’s no longer available? Now you can! Simply choose an image or take a photo in our app, use the color picker, and we’ll show you the five closest color matches we’ve managed to find. CREATE A COLOR PALETTE FROM ANY IMAGE Pick multiple colors from any photo or image and see them come together in your own color palette.

Alternatively, browse our extensive catalog and manually review potential matches. SAVE YOUR FAVORITES Picking colors from images? Name them and save them in your app, so you can come back to them again later. Found the perfect match?
