You may still have the buckets from the last time you painted your walls, but that doesn’t mean the colors have stayed the same. If you want to know the true colors of almost any surface whether it’s faded paint or leather with a warm patina, just scan it with the Nix Mini Color Sensor V2. This pocket-sized gadget can identify colors in an instant, and it’s only $69.99 (reg. $99). 

Take the pain out of paint shopping 

If you’re gearing up for some spring home improvement, it might finally be time for a fresh coat of paint on the house. It only takes a few years for outdoor paint to fade, so you can either paint your entire home a new color, scour the swatches at the hardware store, or use this color sensor to tell you exactly what paint to buy.

Scanning something with the Nix Sensor instantly compares the color to more than 100,000 paint colors and built-out projects. Instead of heading home with a pocket full of paint samples, go shopping knowing exactly what you’re looking for.

The Nix doesn’t just give you paint recommendations. You can also get the exact sRGB HEX, CMYK, and LAB colors to find your digital match. Artists and designers can pull colors from real-world objects. It’s like a real-life version of the Photoshop eyedropper tool. Scan your walls and make a true-color version of your house in Blender

This color sensor may be small, but it’s built to last. The solid-state construction can take some punishment, and it even comes with a little lanyard so you can hang your color sensor with the rest of your DIY supplies. 

Find the true color of whatever “hue” want 

Whether you’re painting over a ding in the wall or identifying the exact hex code of your car’s paint job, this little color sensor is an artist’s asset.

For a limited time, get the Nix Mini Color Sensor V2 on sale for $69.99 (reg. $99).
