About this app

Color Picker - app to identify color from camera or image with many extra features.

Identify color from several color palettes. The app database contains more than 1000+ entries from the most famous color palettes: Common colors, RAL Classic, HTML (W3C), Material Design and others. Not sure which palette to choose? Use the universal palette "Common colors", which contains all the most famous colors.

Dynamic Scope. Just swipe the screen to resize the scope. You can quickly identify the color at the center point or the average color from the entire selected area. Three scope shapes are available: circle, square, and dot. If a circle is selected, the average color is really calculated only from the pixels inside the circle.

See scientific color data. Click the laboratory flask icon to go into expert mode. It displays the color temperature (in Kelvin degrees), the color location on the optical spectrum, the color value in various color models (RGB, CMYK, HSV and others), as well as the degree of color matching (in percent) with the most similar color from the selected color palette. Unnecessary items of the expert mode can be disabled in the settings.

Advanced camera settings. Identify color more accurately by manually setting the focus mode, white balance, and other camera settings.

Identify color in images. Open image and identify/save the desired color on any part of the image. You can send the image in the app through the "Share" system dialog. All standard gestures for working with image are supported.

Work with saved colors. Saved colors can be edited, send the HEX value of the selected colors through the "Share" system dialog, or import/export all colors in CSV.

Search and browse colors in the database. Thanks to a search by HEX value or color name, you will quickly find the desired color in the database. You can send any text to the app, to search the database, through the "Share" system dialog.

Disclaimer. Samples of colors can significantly differ from the originals due to the color rendition. All colors are provided for informational purposes only. Do not use these values wherever a color match is required with high accuracy.

Ratings and reviews

I am colour-blind and I do a lot of photography. I see colour but can't say what the colour IS ! So, who else could write a book on colour, specifically colour-blindness, than a colour-blindness afflicted person? This is my world, and I am using images in my gallery to show what I can and cannot see, and the confusion with similar shades of the same and/or completely different colours. This app has proved invaluable in determining colours in my images so that I can categorise correctly.

You can't try the app unless you grant advertising rights. I don't mind being shown adverts but every other app allows my choices to be confirmed and still shows ads, not this app though. So it's either pay without trialing or consent to ads other apps don't require to show ads. Unfortunate really.

Doesn't allow you to use the app if you don't grant it full, unfettered access to all your information. The developer claims this is because ads can't be displayed if you don't give full access, but that is not true. Nonpersonalized ads can still be displayed without full access.

What’s new

Starting from Android 10, saving a screenshot no longer requires storage permission. All screenshots are saved in the standard "Pictures" folder in its own subfolder.

This is a necessary change because, starting from Android 13, storage permissions have been deprecated and are no longer provided by the system.

Added automatic media scanning for new screenshots, meaning they should now be visible in Gallery apps right away.

All external dependencies are updated to latest versions.
