Color blind? Point your camera at anything and it tells you what color it is — in words, not swatches
Download Free on Google PlayYou already know the problem: the swatch doesn't help. ColorSeeker doesn't ask you to judge a shade — it just tells you. Point the camera and read the answer in plain text: "Crimson", #DC143C, RGB 220/20/60. Red-green color blindness makes maroon, crimson and brown a coin flip. Sorting laundry, picking ripe fruit, reading a resistor, telling a Cat6 jacket from a fiber one — the app reports a name and a number every time, so you don't have to guess and you don't have to ask anyone. Colour blind? Same app — we just spell it the other way.
Most color apps compare raw RGB, so a shadow reads as a different color and you get "Brown" for a mustard shirt in a dim room. ColorSeeker converts what it sees into CIE L*a*b* — the color space built to match human vision — and when it names a color it deliberately discounts brightness, weighting the true color axes instead. Dim light, harsh light, shadow: same answer.
“10 minutes after downloading this app I bought the ad-free version and it’s worth every penny. Within minutes I had so many uses for the app. This will help me in so many ways. I can only see the colour red, everything else kind of looks the same. I’ve tried a few colourblind apps but this one… 👌”
Point at any object and get its name (e.g., "Mustard", "Coral", "Crimson") plus exact Hex/RGB codes instantly, from a 58-color palette of real names. No trusting the swatch, no second opinion.
Red berries in a green tree. A red wire in a bundle. A pink flag in tall grass. Tap to lock a color and ColorSeeker traces every match in frame and counts them — the things your eyes blend into the background, outlined and pulled out.
Automatically highlight and count matching objects in real-time. Perfect for inventory, hobbies, or sorting mixed parts. Count hundreds of items in seconds just by spreading them out.
Matches are traced with a border that follows the object's real edge, so you see the shape of the thing you're looking for instead of a rectangle sitting over it. Prefer a plain box, or want matches filled in solid? Both are a tap away in the menu.
Switch between wide, 1x standard and 3x close to read small objects like beads, screws, or resistors from across the bench. Shadow-proof naming sees through dim lighting.
Fiber Aqua, Cat6 Blue, Safety Orange and Earth Green sit in the palette next to the designer colors — because telling one cable jacket from another in a dim closet shouldn't take a second opinion.
All of it — naming, tap-to-lock, counting, zoom, screenshots. Nothing is locked behind a paywall. The app is supported by a single banner ad at the bottom of the screen, and a one-time purchase removes it. That's the only purchase in the app. No subscriptions, no account.
Maroon or Crimson? Brown or green? Stop guessing and stop asking. Every color comes back as a name, a Hex code and RGB values — read it instead of judging it.
Sorting laundry, picking ripe fruit, matching a shirt to trousers, reading a resistor band. The small daily calls that shouldn't need a second opinion.
Get real-world Hex codes for your projects instantly. Match paint colors, fabrics, or any physical material to digital palettes.
Sort resistors, beads, LEGO bricks, or any small parts by color. Count hundreds of items automatically instead of manually.
Quick counts of merchandise, parts, or supplies. Verify color consistency across batches or shipments.
Match existing paint colors, identify wiring by color code, or coordinate design elements across your project.
Teach color theory, verify chemical indicators, or document color changes in experiments with precise data.
Like all ProDirt apps, ColorSeeker follows our core principles:
ColorSeeker is built specifically for red-green color blindness. Instead of a swatch to judge, it names the color in plain text — a color name, a Hex code and RGB values — so you read the answer instead of guessing it.
Yes. Point ColorSeeker's camera at any object and it works as a color detector, reporting the color as a name plus exact Hex and RGB codes. CIE L*a*b* color science discounts brightness, so shadow and dim light don't change the answer.
Yes — it was designed for exactly the cases where maroon, crimson, brown and green become a coin flip. Tap to lock a color and it highlights and counts every match in frame, pulling out what your eyes blend into the background.
Every feature is free — naming, tap-to-lock, counting, zoom and screenshots. A single banner ad supports the app, and a one-time purchase removes it. No subscriptions, no account.
