Ever wanted to find an exact color shade you’ve seen in real life? The Nix Mini Color Sensor allows you to do exactly that, and the smart device is on sale for just $83.95. That’s a 15% discount off the regular price of $99.

Gadget to identify colors

It may sound like an invention straight out of The Jetsons, but the Nix is totally real — and it works. Simply use the gadget to scan anything, and then pair via Bluetooth with the Nix Digital app to identify and reproduce the color digitally (RGB, HEX, CMYK and LAB). Or use the Nix Paints app to match a real paint shade from big name brands like Dulux, Farrow & Ball and more.

Just think of Nix as the Photoshop eyedropper tool, but in real life.

Whether you are a professional designer, artist or photographer, are currently decorating your home, or simply enjoy DIY projects, this tool is a total game-changer. Designed to become part of your everyday life, this portable gadget will have you seeking inspiration everywhere — and bringing your creative projects to life like never before.

That’s because with the Nix, you really can scan anything. We’re talking painted walls, vinyl, leather, plastic, fabric, dyes and just about any surface you can imagine. Plus, it does so while blocking out all the ambient light on the surface. It provides its own calibrated light source, which means you’ll get highly accurate readings and can always find and use the exact shade you’re looking for.

The Nix Mini comes highly recommended by experts, too. CNET highlighted its ease of use right out of the box, saying, “Nix comes pre-calibrated and doesn’t require any work on your end.” Meanwhile, Mashable summed it up like this: “The Nix Mini Color Sensor could be an awesome tool to feed your innate perfectionism.”
