Color Meter

Use your smarphone camera as a real world color picker

Accurate color measurements by (optionally) using a white reference to compensate for varying lighting conditions, thereby enhancing precision.

The app measures colors in real time by using the camera of the device and can be used as a live color picker (color grab) or color detector. Also known as a colorimeter.

The Power of the White Reference

What sets Color Meter apart from other apps is its innovative use of a white paper reference. By compensating (automatic calibration) for the color and intensity of the ambient light, Color Meter ensures that the color measurements are more precise and reliable. It is like having a professional meter in your pocket.

Perfect for artists, designers, architects, decorators, researchers, print technicians, photographers and anyone interested in colors.

Use the app as for color calibration, experiments, color identification, palette creation, color analysis and more - the possibilities are endless.
