Description

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.

Comments on Color Picker for Android

★★★★☆ 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.'

★★★★★ M Vitoba Rao · Apr 27, 2026

Please Change the Color CYAN to INDIGO Color in "Visible Spectrum Colors ". Why Because there is no CYAN Color in Rainbow. The Order of the Rainbow is Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ 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

★☆☆☆☆ Sigge Sigvardsson · Jan 25, 2026

Can't get by the personalized ads, don't work. Want to access all kind of stuff.

★☆☆☆☆ Everything & nOTHING · Sep 24, 2025

Tl;dr: apparently every color is 99% silver and battleship Grey. Useless.

★☆☆☆☆ 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!

★☆☆☆☆ Iain Lea · Feb 13, 2026

Useless. Installs and will not advance past consent form. Uninstalled. NOT RECOMMENDED!

★☆☆☆☆ 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

★☆☆☆☆ Selena · Aug 14, 2025

The camera is upside down for some reason, I checked my camera app, and it was right side up, I tried re-installing this app, but it's still upside down
