Color is easy to appreciate, but tough to identify precisely. Is that midnight blue or navy blue? Or if you’re working on a computer, is that shade of red more firebrick (#B22222) or strawberry (#BE2625)? It’s ok, you don’t have to know the answer.

The Nix Mini Color sensor offers an easy way to precisely identify any color, to be matched with paint or digital color codes. So whether you’re painting a room or designing a website, you can make sure that all the hues you use are exact. Just point the little golf ball sized sensor at any color critical surface, and match it to over 31,000 brand name paint colors, or RGB, HEX, CMYK, and LAB color codes. There’s also a Nix Pro Color Sensor, with a much larger library of paint and digital colors, less interference from ambient light, and other power user features.

Buy now: Get a Nix Color sensor for $58.65, or a Nix Color Pro for $211.65 when you use the code ‘BOO15’ at checkout. That’s about 40 percent off the usual prices.
