Description of ๐ŸŽจ Portable Color Matching Tool: Nix Mini 2 Color Sensor Colorimeter โ€“ Instantly Identify and Match Paint and Digital Color Values

Scan any object or surface to find its paint match or digital color value. No moving parts. Lightweight and durable to let you scan color without wires and without calibration tiles. Match wall colors to top paint brands across the world including Benjamin Moore, Behr, PPG, Valspar, Sherwin-Williams and more. Find inspiration, browse curated palettes, and share selections and scans. Perfect for those who need to communicate color to colleagues, clients and more. Find physical paint matches and digital color codes (sRGB, CMYK, CIELAB, HEX, LCH(ab), LRV, and Hue). Color Accuracy - Note that colors shown on-screen may not precisely represent actual paint or digital colors due to variances in display calibrations. color scans are affected by uneven surfaces, multicolored patterns, metallic surfaces, pearls, high gloss and ambient light. For best results, keep the Mini 2 flush and scan matte samples with the gloss coating removed. To confirm colors, you may bring the paint name and numbers to your local paint retailer for physical sample comparison. Bluetooth Connection and Charging - Note that recent android updates require users to turn on location services for Nix Apps in order for Bluetooth connection to function properly. To avoid charging issues, only use 1-amp charging adapters or USB powered connections with the Nix Mini 2 Color Sensor, do not use fast charging power adapters.

Amazing success in matching the color in my house

I was never able to touch up the color in my house until I bought this device. After scanning a wall in my house that needed a touch up, the app recommended a paint (Nix Paint). I went to Home Depot and bought an 8 ounce sample bottle and touched up the areas that needed work and after the paint dried it matched perfectly.

Pros
  • Builds confidence
Cons
  • Has flaws

Doesn't work best in Paint & Primer

I really wanted this product to work. I have dozens of color samples to scan CIELab codes. Follow the instructions that came with the device. Turned it on to wake me up. But that didn't happen. I called tech support. They said turn it on for 4 hours. Still no sign of life. Very frustrating and frustrating for the user as there are no LED indicators on the device to show the status. For customers who prefer privacy; You must allow the app to collect your location data. Otherwise the app will not

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Bad color fits and overpriced.

Scans paint well on walls and then gives you a choice of colors from major paint manufacturers. One of the "great" matches was a long way off though, and I rescanned the paint on the wall several times to make sure it was reading the paint on the wall consistently. Waste of money for a gallon of paint that doesn't match and the Nix system is overpriced. So I lost $30 on color and $99 on a color matching system that I trust very little. It's better to just ask them to match the color at theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something

Wonderful! - From painter

I'm a field worker for a major paint company and that's the best we've got in this field. It saved me hours of time in the three weeks I had. Just yesterday I got a call from my big HOA client about flowers in their offices, gym and community center. There are about 12 colors in total. It literally took me 15 minutes with this scanner and without it it would have taken at least an hour. I just scan the color using my company's color library, which fortunately is included in the app, and checkโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Bad impression

An interesting gadget, but it didn't suit me and my color matching project.

Everyone who buys this may be from different walks of life, but everyone will most likely want to know the color they chose. Probably made to order. Well, it's not that simple. I was impressed that the software pulled from so many color types and brands and first suggested a brand that was known as the color but couldn't pick the right color. And chose similar colors instead. While this device didn't solve my paint problem, it's well constructed and easy to charge. But it didn't help. In theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Repair

Pleasantly surprised

Have used this device a few times since purchasing it but have never been entirely sure of its accuracy. After installing new kitchen cabinets I decided to use it again and compare the scan to colors from well known brands. My scan was compared to the Benjamin Moore 975 scanner. I took a closet door to Benjamin Moore and they scanned it with their $3,000 scanner. To my surprise, her scanner also matched the color of my closet door to her Benjamin Moore number 975. I'm very confident of usingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Worst product I've bought from Revain

This stuff is only good for tight games. I checked 3 walls and the ceiling and none matched. This only gives you a close match, which defeats the purpose as you can save your money and just do a sample clean or take a picture and show it to a local paint shop that will do the same or better for a lot less money than that overpriced junk. The colors were close but not enough where you or the guest cannot tell the difference. What this did for me was match the color for my blanket by looking atโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive
