About this app

Accurate color measurements by (optionally) using a white reference to compensate for varying lighting conditions, thereby enhancing precision.

The app measures colors in real time by using the camera of the device and can be used as a live color picker (color grab) or color detector. Also known as a colorimeter.

The Power of the White Reference
What sets Color Meter apart from other apps is its innovative use of a white paper reference. By compensating (automatic calibration) for the color and intensity of the ambient light, Color Meter ensures that the color measurements are more precise and reliable. It is like having a professional meter in your pocket.

Perfect for artists, designers, architects, decorators, researchers, print technicians, photographers and anyone interested in colors.

Use the app as for color calibration, experiments, color identification, palette creation, color analysis and more - the possibilities are endless.

Ratings and reviews

Perfection, and exactly what I needed! This tool allows you to measure the exact color, in multiple formats (RGB values, HEX, etc). While it is not required, I found the option of a white reference to be ideal! This means that you can add a white piece of paper, or similar, into the frame, and identify it as white. That way, the program can determine if there are any color biases in the light, and can effectively "subtract" that bias color in the light from the color you are measuring.

I admit to not having really tested it "in the wild" — I just downloaded it yesterday and haven't done any measurements yet. BUT, I browsed through it and found the app is very well made. The pricing looks fair, although I won't have a recurring need for this. I really don't see the point of the 1-star reviews below (and, apparently, no one does either). Well done, dev.

This is the only app I've found to be accurate in terms of the value scale. I created a test strip in Illustrator/Photoshop and tested on this app and it was 100% accurate. I have no idea why other apps can't be accurate as the file was created digitally. I did a basic colour test strip using the same method and that was also 100% accurate. So I would say any issues in colour and value identification will be because of the quality of the phone's camera.
