Comments on Color Picker: Find Name & Code for Android
★★★★★Don Rawding· Apr 18, 2026
As a color blind water color artist I find this app invaluable. I have been able to make a color wheel showing the positions of my pallet colors. Would not be without it. By the way. Why not build a simplified version into a pair of spectacles with bone conduction hearing to identify colors acoustically. These would sell like hotcakes to color blind people.
★★★★★Olga FitzGerald· Feb 21, 2026
The most useful and helpful app for visual artist/ painters. Use it daily
★★★★★Amal K A· May 23, 2026
This app is phenomenal, it's easy to use and provides names to the color of unknown, 199% suggestible
★★★★☆Planet Chris· Jan 7, 2026
I had to copy paste to Google for color info after picking as it doesn't have extended stats for the color on the app. Plus a few color names isn't accurate, for example what it said 'dark peach' appear more like classic light and peach in color instead of saying just 'peach.'
★★★★★Anya Valkryie· Jul 1, 2025
IDK what to say it's a color picker it picks colors it does as advertised 5 ★ for just being a normal app you can use daily
★☆☆☆☆Lil Bear· Feb 24, 2026
I try to get colors out of screenshots and everything is either arsenic or silver ? Not sure what color arsenic is but the feds will probably come get me for looking it up so many times lmao

Ads ads ads. Opens Temu in your browser and promises to harvest your data.
★☆☆☆☆Caleb Hartmann· Aug 8, 2025
It does exactly what it says but one star for using the Crayola style of colors for everything. I'm colorblind and needed to identify colors, I need simple like light red, dark red, purple. Instead this gives me things like chestnut and camel. I'm colorblind I don't even know what *those* are colored!
★☆☆☆☆Everything & nOTHING· Sep 24, 2025
Tl;dr: apparently every color is 99% silver and battleship Grey. Useless.
★☆☆☆☆Sigge Sigvardsson· Jan 25, 2026
Can't get by the personalized ads, don't work. Want to access all kind of stuff.
