Mini Color Sensor

February 25, 2024

 

 

The Nix Mini 3 is a palm-sized color sensor that allows you to scan a color sample from almost any source to match colors for painting, designing, and more. Good for digital artists, photographers, videographers, DIYers, and any one who works with color. Identify the paint color of your walls or trim for touch-ups or renovations.

The Nix Mini 3 operates by placing the sensor against the color you wish to scan. With the press of a button, the device illuminates the surface, minimizing the impact of ambient light and ensuring an accurate color reading. The sensor then captures the color, and through its app, translates this reading into a color name and code from the selected color library.

Convert real-life colors to HEX for any Adobe software or WordPress webpage. Scan any surface and instantly view its digital color value (RGB, HEX, CMYK) and closest matches from a database of over 200,000 brand-name paints. Its IPX4 water resistance means the Nix Mini 3 can withstand splashes and light rain, making it more durable for outdoor use. The app provides access to shared color libraries and to browse colors, search for colors, and view color details.
