Tincta

Point your camera at anything. Tincta identifies the colour, names it, and gives you everything you need to build with it. Free, on-device, no account needed.

Tincta turns your camera into a colour intelligence tool. Point it at anything in the world — fabric, paint, product packaging, a flower — and instantly identify, store and learn everything about that colour.

• Capture colours from real life Tincta's real-time camera scanner detects colour with precision using the P3 colour profile, for the closest match to what you actually see on-screen. Stay in the viewfinder and capture as many colours as you need in one session. Everything is saved to your personal colour library and named automatically from a database of over 1,500 standard colour names.

• Know your colours completely Every captured colour gets a full breakdown: HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK values — all tap-to-copy. WCAG AA and AAA contrast ratings for both white and black backgrounds, so you know immediately whether a colour works for accessible design.

• Build palettes from what you see Use any captured colour as the foundation for a palette. Choose from six colour theory harmonies — monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split-complementary, triadic, and tetradic — or build manually by scanning additional colours with your camera. Every palette gets an automatic harmony analysis and cohesion rating.

• Digital Design & Fashion modes Harmonies can be calculated two ways. Digital Design uses pure colour wheel theory, optimised for screen and digital work. Fashion mode applies muted, desaturated adjustments for real-world wearability — useful when your design work crosses into physical materials, print, or product. Switch between them instantly on any colour. Generate SwiftUI Color code or CSS variables and copy them straight to your clipboard.

• Your library, your way Favourite colours for quick access. Search your entire library by name or hex value. Every colour is timestamped so you know exactly when you captured it.

Tincta is completely free, works entirely on-device, and requires no account or network connection.
