Discover, capture and mix colors with your iPhone. ColorMatch turns your camera into a color picker. Point it at anything around you, tap or drag on the live preview and instantly see the color's name and code. Use Live ID to pin multiple points on screen and read several colors at once, freeze the frame for precise picking, or sample colors from any photo in your library. Save the colors you find, mark favorites and organize them into groups. Build palettes from any color, collect related palettes together and generate fresh combinations with one tap. The built-in mixer estimates what you get when you blend colors by percentage, ratio or grams — and can also suggest which source colors produce a target color. Read colors the way you need them: plain-language names in many languages, HEX, RGB, HSB, HSL, CMYK, developer-ready SwiftUI and UIKit code, plus approximate matches to well-known industry color systems. ColorMatch is free. Color sampling runs on your device, and your saved colors and palettes stay in local app storage.
