About this app

Point your camera at anything and PaintPeek tells you its colour: the name, the HEX code and how close the match is, live. Then try that colour on your own wall before you buy a single tin of paint.

PaintPeek is a color picker, color identifier and paint visualizer in one free app.

🎨 LIVE COLOR IDENTIFIER
• Aim the camera and get the colour name, HEX code and % match, about 10 times a second
• Tap anywhere in the view to sample another spot; circle, square or crosshair sample shapes and an adjustable sample size
• Freeze, copy or save a colour with one tap; turn on the light in dim rooms
• Camera frames are analysed on your phone and never saved or uploaded

🖼️ COLOR PICKER FROM PHOTOS
• Open any picture, pinch to zoom and drag the magnifier (loupe) to read the exact pixel
• Palette from photo: extract the dominant colours of any image in one tap
• Share an image to PaintPeek from other apps

✨ PAINT IT — WALL PAINT VISUALIZER (3 free tries, then Pro)
• Tap a wall or an object and PaintPeek selects it for you, then repaints it in your colour
• The real light and shadow of your photo stay, so the result looks like paint, not a flat fill
• Matte, satin or gloss finish, coverage, brightness and edge softness
• Paint several areas in different colours, refine with Add, Remove, Brush and Eraser
• Hold to compare before and after, then save or share your painted room
• Optional Precise mode (Pro) gives sharper edges with a cloud AI model; your photo is processed and never stored

🪣 PAINT SHADE FINDER (Pro)
• Find the closest paint shades to any colour from 31,000+ published colours: 16 paint brand colour lists plus RAL Classic
• Sorted by CIEDE2000 colour difference, with an "Exact / Very close / Close" label
• Paint your wall with the shade you found
• Matches are approximate: screens, light and finish change how paint looks, so always check a real sample

🔤 2,000 COLOUR NAMES AND EVERY FORMAT
• About 2,000 colour names matched with ΔE2000, plus CSS, Material and xkcd name lists (extra lists in Pro)
• HEX code, RGB, HSL, HSV and CMYK; Pro adds CIE LAB, LCh, XYZ, colour temperature and dominant wavelength
• Similar colours and the colour's name in other databases

🧰 DESIGNER TOOLS
• WCAG contrast checker: contrast ratio, AA / AAA for normal and large text and UI components, with the closest passing text colour
• Harmony generator: complementary, analogous, triadic, split complementary, tetradic, square and monochromatic, plus tints and shades
• Palettes: save colours, reorder them, and export to CSS, JSON or a PNG card; Pro adds Adobe ASE, GIMP GPL and Tailwind
