We’ve all been there: you’ve picked a paint colour for your room that you think will match your inspiration object or photo, but once it's all dried, you can’t help but feel like the colour isn’t exactly what you were picturing. With the Nix Mini 3 colour sensor, you will never have to guess a paint colour again; instead, you can simply touch the Nix Mini 3 to an inspiration item, and the accurate little device will instantly tell you the colour in RGB or HEX and help you find the perfect match from a catalogue of paint brands.

The Nix Mini 3 Colour Sensor is a super small little diamond-shaped device, which offers access to an impressive 200,000+ brand-name paint colours so you can find the perfect match for any professional design job or interior decoration project. The Nix Mini 3 is the most accurate, durable and portable colour sensor from Nix Sensor, which has been engineered to offer a 300%+ improved resolution over competitors for the most precise colour reading possible. The Nix Mini 3 just needs to be pressed against the colour you want to read, and with the free connected Nix Toolkit App for iOS and Android, you can scan the sample. This will immediately show the colour reading of the sample with precise RGB, HEX and CMYK values, which it then matches to paints to offer the most accurate possible match from within its digital catalogues.

Thus, in just a few steps you can get colour-accurate results to pick the perfect paint to suit your projects, without having to guess which looks the most similar from the colour samples you see in shops! The catalogues available feature many of the key brands you will know and love, such as Crown Paints, Dulux Trade and Farrow and Ball. However, I will note that if you’re looking to access more advanced/proprietary colour systems such as Pantone, RAL and NCS, you will need to take out a premium subscription for these more advanced colour matches.

One of the things that stands out about the Nix Mini 3 Colour Sensor is the accuracy, as the sensor features an all-new Nix calibration algorithm which has been developed by engineers over many years to offer unmatched accuracy. Thus, the Nix Mini 3 is the perfect tool for interior designers, paint contractors, or even those who are taking on a DIY project and want to ensure that their vision is made possible. Plus, to ensure that it can withstand everything a decorating or interior design project throws at it, it's even been designed with an IPX4 Waterproof rating and a fully sealed Gorilla Glass lens, so you never have to worry about external factors affecting its ability to give you accurate colour readings.

If you’re an interior designer, graphic designer or just someone who wants to deliver DIY projects where the colours match up to your inspiration, the Nix Mini 3 Colour Sensor is a brilliant little tool that will help you get the perfect colour for your projects every time. It's super simple to use, doesn’t require a complicated or expensive subscription and just offers impressive colour accuracy to make picking your next paint colour easier.

Pros:

• Provides access to an extensive 200,000+ paint colour catalogue
• Durable and portable for taking with you for inspiration on the go (it even comes with a lanyard for easy carrying!)
• High level of accuracy, producing RGB, HEX and CMYK values

Cons:

• It’s a slightly pricier bit of tech for colour matching, but if you’re in the design or interior decorating world (or even a graphic designer) then it’s a worthwhile investment
