INTRODUCING COLOR PICKER

Here's how it works...

Color Picker opens with a live camera view. You can zoom in and out as with any camera app. Once you're satisfied with the subject matter, push the large round button at the bottom.

Color Picker will display the captured image, but does not save it to your device. This prevents a lot of unnecessary photo files on your device. You can now use the center icon on the upper row to pick points on the screen. Color Picker will give the exact RGB (Red-Blue-Green) color number of the pixel selected and the closest matching color name.

Color Picker also allow you to open any image stored on your device in your Gallery. Select the Gallery icon from the upper row and it will open your Gallery. Once open you can pan and zoom to the area of the image that is of interest. Again just like with the photo, you can now use the center icon on the upper row to pick points on the screen. Color Picker will give the exact RGB (Red-Blue-Green) color number of the pixel selected and the closest matching color name.

By selecting the Information icon from the upper row, Color Picker will give the closest standard RAL® and Pantone® color numbers, It will also list the closest numbers of the three top brands of embroidery floss, DMC®, Anchor® and J. P. Coats®.

A brief word of warning; Color Picker gives you the color of the particular pixel selected. In any photo shown on a phone each color is shown with a variety of similar but different colors to create the images. If we take our little caricature of Einstein and zoom in on the left side of his shirt. To the little rectangle, we will see that the seemingly solid red shirt is made up of many pixels that are various shades of red.

​

This variation is why we recommend that you select several points in an area to get a feel for the overall color.

We do hope you find this application fun and helpful.
