Anybody that’s ever tried to touch up patchy paint knows that you should never try to “eyeball” the right shade. Even subtle color differences can result in a wall that looks like a crazy quilt. And cans of paint are not cheap.

Luckily, there’s an easy way to match that color right the first time: the Nix Mini 2 color sensor. This tiny but mighty gadget should become an essential part of any home improvement or decorating toolkit. And through July 23, you can grab this helpful color-matching device for only $59.97 (regularly $99).

Nix Mini: An easy way to match your wall paint

The Nix Mini 2 measures just 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches by 1 inch, so it’s small enough to carry in your pocket or on the included lanyard. And it’s totally easy to use. Just hold the color sensor up against the desired surface (whether that’s a painted wall, a velvet booth, fancy wallpaper, etc.). The outer shell will block out all ambient light, letting the powerful interior lens get the most accurate color reading.

The tiny gadget instantly identifies the specific color of the surface and sends the results to a companion app.

And when we say “the specific color,” we mean extremely specific. You can get your color ID as a CMYK, sRGB HEX or LAB code, which allows you to replicate the shade in design software or photo-editing programs like Photoshop. You can rest easy knowing the Nix Mini 2 will help you get the color match you need.

A highly rated way to find your color

Home painters and interior designers can even match their desired shade to one of more than 100,000 paint colors. After using the Nix Mini 2, you can go to the paint store armed with just the right designation from Sherwin Williams, Dulux, Benjamin Moore and other leading brands. And thanks to the app, you can save that shade so you’ll always know what paint you need.

It’s no wonder Mashable and CNET raved about the Nix Mini. Users love it, too. One verified buyer wrote: “A very handy device for the DIY’er that needs to touch up or match paint. It has been a very useful purchase.”
