About this item

  • 𝗦𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: Use the ColorReader EZ device to scan the flat surface of a color you want to identify, then with the ColorReader app (works with both iPhone & Android) find its closest paint color, instantly. (Paint brands vary by country).
  • 𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 & 𝗘𝗙𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗧: The ColorReader EZ narrows your paint color search, refining your color options for faster, easier selection.
  • 𝗘𝗙𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: Scan a color to find its closest paint color, then tap on a color swatch to find coordinating colors and color scheme options.
  • 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗥 𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗔: Scanned colors are accurately defined in CIELAB, Hex and RGB color values for easy integration into your digital design workflow and simple conversion to Pantone colors.
  • 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗬 𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗦: For the best color matching results, use the ColorReader EZ on flat, smooth, single-colored surfaces. Avoid high sheen, textured or metallic surfaces. Make sure the device is placed flat on the surface. Pressing the scanning button on the ColorReader EZ while it’s on the surface to be measured will further block out any ambient light let in from uneven surfaces for improved accuracy.
  • 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘: Actual colors may vary from those on your phone’s screen due to varying display appearances and brightness settings. Other factors that can affect color matching accuracy include not specifying which paint brands to match to, or scanning faded, soiled, or weathered paint chips or paint on walls. Be sure to repaint an entire wall if touch-up painting. Avoid spot touch-ups since paint color on walls changes over time.

    Great tool for coordinating colors!
    I purchased the ColorReader EZ to help me finally pick a color to remodel my home office. I wanted to repaint it for months but couldn’t decide on a color. The ColorReader EZ was amazing! I took a reading on my favorite painting and it gave me a great color recommendation. Looking forward to making future paint projects easier and more fun!
