pal8

Point your camera at anything — a wall, a jacket, a sunset — and pal8 names the colors it sees, live, as you move. No sign-up. No account. No ads. It opens and it works. WHAT IT DOES Live color reading Hold your camera up and pal8 reads the scene continuously, pulling out the colors that actually define it rather than just sampling a single pixel. Real names, not hex codes Every color is matched against a curated dictionary of nearly 5,000 names. "Burnt Sienna" tells you more than #C56844 does. Spot color matching pal8 finds the closest coated spot-color match for any color it reads, with RGB and CMYK values alongside — the numbers you need when the thing on screen has to become a thing that gets printed. Shareable color cards Capture what you're looking at as a finished card in a range of styles, ready to send or save. Works offline Everything runs on your device. No connection needed, ever. Share a photo to pal8 Send any photo from your gallery straight into pal8 from the Android share sheet and it reads the colors out of it. WHO IT'S FOR Designers matching a color they saw in the wild. Painters and decorators working out what's already on the wall. Illustrators building a palette from a photograph. Printers who need a spot-color reference. Anyone who has ever wanted to know what to call a particular shade of green. YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS pal8 has no server. The camera feed is analysed on your device and nothing is uploaded — not the frames, not the photos, not the palettes you save. There is no account to create and nothing about you to collect. FREE pal8 is free. There are no ads, no subscription and no paid tier. Questions and bug reports: [email protected]
