Hue Check - Color Picker

See the exact color. Every time.

Point your iPhone camera at any surface in the world around you and Hue Check tells you exactly what color it is - in real time. Or import any photo from your library and tap a pixel for the same precise reading. The named color. The hex code. The RGB and HSB values. Instantly.

No guessing. No subscriptions. No broken features.

WHAT IT DOES

• Live camera sampling - aim the crosshair at any surface and watch the color readout update in real time. Wall paint, fabric, a flower, a product, printed material - anything.

• Import Photo - pick any picture from your library and tap a pixel to sample its color. Same hex, RGB, HSB, and named-color detail as the live camera, with one tap to save it to your palette. No camera access needed.

• Precise color identification - a 3x3 pixel sampling region and Lab-space color matching against 2,300+ named colors gives you the closest real name, not a vague approximation.

• Hex, RGB, HSB - all three formats displayed at once so designers, developers, and decorators each see the number they need immediately.

• Lock to freeze - tap Lock to freeze the current frame and hold your reading steady before you copy or save.

• Copy hex instantly - tap the hex value to copy #RRGGBB to your clipboard. A quick confirmation tells you it worked.

• Save to palette - tap Save to add the color to your personal palette. Free tier holds 5 colors; Pro is unlimited.

No camera access? Tap Choose Photo Instead right from the camera permission screen and start sampling colors from your photos immediately.

FOR DESIGNERS Grab the exact hex from a physical reference, a material sample, or a brand color card. No more eyeballing.

FOR DECORATORS & PAINTERS Match a wall, a fabric, or a tile before you ever set foot in the paint store. Know exactly what you're looking at.

FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS Pull the precise hex from a shot, a print, or a scene, live or from your library. Build a palette from real-world tones.

FOR DEVELOPERS Copy hex or RGB values direct to clipboard. No color wheel needed.

YOUR PALETTE

Every saved color lives in your palette - a grid of swatches with their hex codes and names. Tap any swatch for the full breakdown: Hex, RGB, HSB, and CMYK in Pro. Long-press to copy or delete.
