Match just about any color

The Nix Mini 2 Color Sensor is essentially like Photoshop's paint dropper tool in real life. See a color you think is beautiful? Just grab the sensor and scan surfaces like walls, vinyl, leather, plastic, or fabric to read its color. Don’t worry about the lighting affecting the quality of the reading, the sensor is designed to block out ambient light and has its own pre-calibrated light source.

Then, the Nix sensor sends information to the Nix Paints or Nix Digital app on your Android or iOS device. With Nix Paints, the sensor instantly matches the scanned surface to over 100,000 paint colors. This is an excellent feature if you need to make paint touch-ups in your home but don’t know the original shade.

The Nix Digital app can turn the scanned surface into sRBG, HEX, CMYK, and LAB colors. If you see a beautiful pink flower and want to know its exact shade for your next painting, just pull out the scanner and your phone. You can even save and organize color palettes within the app for future reference. Or, share colors with customers or friends via social media or email to get their opinion.

Portable design for enhanced creativity

Since the Nix Mini 2 Color Sensor is an inch and a half wide and super lightweight, it’s easy to carry around in your bag or pocket for whenever you find color inspiration. Now you can take your obsession with color to a whole new level.
