ColorReader features

Precision Device

  • Engineered for accuracy. Touch ColorReader to any flat surface and the built-in LED surrounding the advanced color sensor will evenly illuminate the surface with no outside interference, isolating the color for more precise measurements.
  • Lightweight and portable so you can always have it with you to capture any color, any time, anywhere.
  • Successful colour determination during the first scan – after the measurement, the ColorReader app compares the measured value with the stored colour values and suggests 3 colour values with the highest match. If you prefer a certain colour brand, you can preset it so that the three suggested colours are from your preferred colour collection.

Versatile App

  • Instantly displays precise color measurements in CIE Lab, RGB and Hex, as well as paint color matches for most paint brands. ColorReader and ColorReader Pro also display CMYK, LCH and LRV color measurements, as well as matches to RAL® standards. Working in advance with Datacolor, you can even add your own custom color collections!
  • Save captured colors and create your own color palettes. The app can also recommend complementary palettes for your projects.
  • Easily share color measurements and paint colors with friends, clients, colleagues or paint stores through text, email and more.
  • Try on your paint color matches the easy way with click-to-order Samplize peel-and-stick paint color samples. Real, re-positional paint samples without the mess or hassle of painting it yourself. (North America only)
