Hueno

Point.
Know the color.

Hueno names any color through your camera, in words you already know: "Dark blue", "Light green", "Reddish brown". And it tells you when a reading is shaky.

Hueno camera screen: the ring is on a red pom-pom and the app reads Red, Maroon, with the hex code.

What color is this?

Hueno starts with the color family, then the shade. If you are color blind, you get an answer you can act on: which wire, which shirt, which line on the chart.

A captured color: Blue, closest named shade Royal blue, with hex, RGB and HSL values.

Color names you already know

Simple names first, with light and dark shades. The exact shade name and the hex code sit right underneath. Tap to hear the name read aloud.

Comparing two colors: A is red, B is yellow. The verdict is Different.

Same or different?

Capture color A, point at color B, and Hueno says Same, Close or Different, and how: "B is yellow, and much lighter."

Calibration panel after pointing at white paper: Calibrated, Good reading.

Calibrate with white paper

Indoor light shifts colors. Point at a sheet of white paper, tap once, and Hueno corrects for the light you are in. Save it for rooms you use often.

Picking a color from a photo of paint chips: Blue, Royal blue.

Pick a color from any photo

Open a photo or screenshot, tap or drag to read any spot, and zoom in for a single pixel.

History list of saved colors, each with a small picture of the object.

Every color, saved

Camera screen with the confidence label Fair reading in the corner.

Know when to trust it

Every reading is rated Good, Fair or Poor, with a tip such as "Too dark, add light". A phone camera is not a lab instrument, and Hueno says so.

Questions

How accurate is it?

Readings depend on your camera and the light. For the most reliable result use daylight or bright white light, and calibrate with white paper first. Hueno shows a confidence rating with every reading. It is a reference tool, not a medical device or a certified color measurement instrument.

Is it free?

Yes. Everything you need to identify colors is free. Hueno Pro is a one-time purchase, with no subscription, that removes ads and the free limits (comparisons per day, history size, saved calibrations, CSV export). You can also watch one short video to use Pro for 6 hours.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. Identifying colors works offline. The internet is only used for ads and for buying Pro through Google Play.

Which phones does it run on?

Android 8.0 or newer with a rear camera. The app is in English.
