Description
Have you ever spotted a specific shade in the real world and wanted to drop it into a digital project? Color Picker handles exactly that by grabbing colors straight through your camera or from saved images. It spits out everything from basic hex codes to heavy scientific data depending on what you need.
Note: Don’t forget to check out other similar applications on our website such as PhotoShot or NewThing Widgets Pro.
Mikhail Gribanov built this app to bridge the gap between physical objects and a digital canvas. You basically carry around a pocket-sized color expert to scan anything you see.
Whether a painter needs to match a physical shade or a web developer wants an exact HTML code, the app gets right to the point. It turns a standard phone into a rather sophisticated color identification tool.
The only real catch is that information about its official release has not been confirmed yet. Because of that, knowing exactly when or how it will be widely available is still a bit unclear. Despite the murky release details, it remains a thoughtfully designed app that does exactly what it promises.
The main draw here is grabbing color data on the fly by pointing your camera at objects like a painted wall or a bright flower. You just use the dynamic on-screen scope to lock onto the exact shade you want. Getting a perfect read from a live feed can take a steady hand, but the instant feedback helps a lot.
You aren’t stuck with live captures since Color Picker lets you pull existing images right from your gallery. Pinpointing shades from a static photo gives you the exact same color data without the rush. Trying to isolate colors on a moving live feed might get frustrating, so having a static option is a nice backup.
Color Picker packs a massive reference library with over a thousand named colors pulled from professional palettes. When scanning a hue for a web project, it automatically shows you the closest match from collections like HTML (W3C), RAL Classic, or Material Design. Having this many standardized collections saves you from guessing the right official code.
Of course, digging through a database of over a thousand specific names might feel like overkill if you just want a simple red. But for graphic artists trying to keep a design project consistent, that level of exactness is exactly what they need. It automatically lines up what you capture with a recognized palette name.
Tapping the little laboratory flask icon switches things over to a highly detailed expert mode. This drops a ton of scientific data on you, like the color’s exact temperature in Kelvin and where it sits on the optical spectrum. Seeing all these complex properties at once can definitely overwhelm casual users who just wanted a basic hex code.
Professionals working on highly technical projects will appreciate seeing exact values across the RGB, CMYK, and HSV models. When trying to match a specific technical profile for print media, surface-level data simply won’t cut it. The expert mode lays all that technical information out in one convenient place.
Grabbing an accurate read relies heavily on an adjustable on-screen scope that lets you change its shape into a circle, square, or a precise dot. You get to decide whether you want to sample one single pixel or calculate the average color of a much larger area. Adjusting these tiny shapes on a small screen can sometimes be a bit fiddly.
You also get manual control over the camera settings to handle focus and white balance yourself. When trying to isolate a specific color under really weird lighting conditions, taking over the camera manually makes a huge difference. Figuring out the right white balance takes some practice, but it drastically improves your color capture accuracy.
After tracking down a specific shade, you can save it to build up a personal palette of frequently used colors. You aren’t locked into those exact captures either, since Color Picker lets you go back and manually tweak the values. Editing those numbers by hand does carry the risk of accidentally ruining the original hue you just spent time grabbing.
Once the color is tweaked to your liking, sharing the exact HEX values with friends or colleagues is pretty straightforward. When collaborating on a team project, sending over that data ensures everyone is working from the exact same page. It basically stops the endless back-and-forth of trying to visually match a shade over text messages.
Color Picker ends up being a highly specialized tool aimed directly at artists, designers, and web developers. Blending real-time camera captures with deep scientific data makes it much more than a basic matching tool. It really excels at pulling actionable information out of both the physical world and regular digital images.
