Code Line’s Color Expert is an amazingly cool iPhone application that turns your iPhone into a color sampler and color scheme builder. You can take photos with the iPhone’s camera, match colors in the photos to Pantone PMS and Goe swatches, build custom Monochromatic, Analogous, Complementary, Split Complementary and Triadic color palettes, email your color schemes, and more.
This is not only a great tool for on-location color sampling, it’ll impress your clients. It costs $9.99 and is available at the iTunes store or through the link at Code Line’s website.

If you liked that app you should check out Palettes or the free version Palettes Lite. Many more features for half the price. Yes, I’m the developer.

I have used Color Expert and it is awesome. I love having the Pantone Library in my back pocket. Is it priced right? Absolutely for all its features. I bought this app and never looked back!!! Highly recommended!
