It’s a safe bet that most of us have seen a color that made us want to know more about it at some point in our lives. Maybe you’ve seen a vibrant plate in a store that would be perfect as an accent color in the bedroom you’re redoing. Or maybe the color of that old, pink beat-up blanket your kid loved years ago could be used as part of a big-kid room redo.

On sale for $79.99 (reg. $97), the Nix Mini 3 is a portable color sensor with a built-in light source that can make your life a lot easier. It delivers accurate, reliable color matching wherever you go.

The Nix Mini 3 is ideal for professionals who need to know colors, including interior designers, graphic designers, those in the construction and architecture fields, artists, and more. It’s also terrific for DIYers, homeowners, and the casual project do-ers.

All you do is hold the Nix Mini up to any flat surface and press scan. The Mini works with the Nix Toolkit app to match it to over 200,000 brand-name paints. It will also help you find color codes such as RGB, HEX, and CMYK. You can even opt for advanced color system access via a premium subscription, which could be helpful if you need it for professional reasons.

This latest version of the Nix Mini has fine-tuned the color readings for accuracy. It also uses a USB-C for charging and is dust- and water-resistant. It’s compatible with both iOS and Android devices, and the accompanying app is available on both app shops. The battery also holds a longer charge than previous models.

Pocket-sized, so it’s super easy to take with you anywhere, this little color sensor could be just the thing to help you recreate that color you love so much.
