Terms and Conditions — Color Identifier
Last updated: 17 August 2026
These terms govern your use of the Color Identifier mobile application ("the app"). By installing or using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
Provider:
1. What the app does
Color Identifier measures the colour in a photo or camera frame and shows you:
the measured colour in HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK and CIE Lab;
the closest entries in the colour catalogs bundled with the app, ranked by perceptual distance;
colour harmonies derived from that colour;
a written description of the shot, generated by an AI service.
You can save colours into palettes and review your scan history. Everything except the written description works without an internet connection.
2. Accuracy — please read this one
Results are estimates, not measurements of record. The app reads the pixels your camera produced, and a camera is not a colorimeter. What it reports is affected by:
the lighting the photo was taken in (daylight, tungsten, LED, shade);
your device's camera sensor, white balance and image processing;
the surface itself — gloss, texture, wear and dirt all shift the reading;
your screen, which will not show the colour exactly as it is.
Do not buy paint, fabric, filament, ink or any other material on the strength of a result alone. Always obtain a physical sample and check it in the actual conditions and on the actual surface before committing. We are not liable for purchasing decisions, ordered goods, applied finishes or any other outcome based on a result the app produced.
3. Colour catalogs and third-party trademarks
The catalogs bundled with the app are independent reference data. They contain curated selections of publicly documented colours, and the screen values in them are approximations of physical standards.
Paint manufacturer names, colour names and colour codes are the trademarks and property of their respective owners. Color Identifier is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or certified by any paint manufacturer, standards body or colour matching system. References to them exist solely to describe which commercially available colour a measured value comes closest to.
The app's "Print & Textile Reference" catalog uses our own numbering and is not a substitute for, and is not derived from, any commercial colour matching system.
Catalog contents may change between app versions as entries are added or corrected.
4. AI-generated content
The written description of lighting, finish and material, and the suggested colour name, are generated by an AI model and may be wrong. They are commentary, not fact. The numeric colour values and catalog matches are produced by the app's own measurement code and do not depend on the AI service.
5. Free use, subscriptions and billing
Free scan. New users get one complete scan at no cost, including the full result. Continued use requires a subscription.
Subscriptions. Plans, prices and durations are shown in the app before you purchase. Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own terms. We never receive your payment details.
Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
Cancelling. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Refunds and withdrawal. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies — we cannot issue them. If you are a consumer in the EU, your statutory right of withdrawal for digital content applies as implemented by the store you purchased through.
Price changes apply only to future billing periods and will be notified to you in advance as required by the respective store.
6. Your responsibilities
You agree not to:
use the app for anything unlawful;
reverse engineer, decompile or extract the bundled catalog data for redistribution or for building a competing dataset;
automate, scrape or overload the app's processing endpoint;
upload images you have no right to use, or images containing other people's personal data without a legal basis for doing so;
circumvent the free-use limits or the purchase verification.
We may suspend access to the processing endpoint where it is being abused.
7. Intellectual property
The app, its design, its source code and its measurement engine belong to us and are protected by copyright. These terms grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on devices you own or control.
Photos you take remain entirely yours. We claim no rights in them and do not store them.
8. Availability
The app is provided as-is and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. The AI description depends on a third-party service that may be slow, unavailable or discontinued; the measurement and matching features are designed to keep working without it. We may change, update or discontinue features, including catalog contents, at any time.
9. Liability
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, and, in Germany, under the Produkthaftungsgesetz.
Subject to that, we are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence. For slight negligence we are liable only where a material contractual obligation is breached — an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on which you may routinely rely — and then only for foreseeable damage typical of this kind of contract.
We are not liable for material or financial loss resulting from reliance on a colour result, including the cost of purchased materials, labour, or re-doing work. See section 2.
Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected by these terms.
10. Termination
You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. We may terminate this licence if you materially breach these terms. Termination does not automatically refund a running subscription; cancel it through your store account.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when the app changes or the law requires it. The current version is always available at this address and in the app. Material changes will be announced in the app before they take effect. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
12. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country.
If any provision of these terms is found invalid, the remainder stays in force.
