This Sensor Will Help You Match Any Paint Color With a 40% Discount

Being a DIY repair fanatic is rewarding until you hit the finish line choosing the right colors for your projects. Or maybe you’re trying to touch up an already painted wall and just can’t seem to get the tone right.

This gadget can help: The Nix Mini 2 color sensor can scan almost any surface to collect and match its color . And until May 31, you can get one for $60, about 40% off the regular $99 price.

Digitization of real colors

Here’s how it works: Connect your Nix Mini to the Nix Paints or Nix Digital app on your Android or Apple smartphone. Use it to scan a surface and Nix Paints will match thousands of branded paint colors. If you need to touch up the walls in your home but aren’t sure what color they are, take out the Nix Mini sensor to get an accurate reading.

You can also use Nix Mini to collect colors from the real world – like the ones you find in nature – and use them in your next project. The Nix Digital app converts tints to sRGB, HEX, CMYK, and LAB colors so you can save and organize them for later use. The app also includes social features so you can share saved colors with friends and family and get their opinion on the color palette for your next room renovation.

Accurate Readings

The manufacturer claims you can scan any surface—painted walls, vinyl, leather, plastic, fabric, paint, and more—although you may have trouble reading multi-color or coarsely textured surfaces accurately.

However, you can rely on accurate color readings for smooth, solid surfaces. The Nix Mini uses its own pre-calibrated light source to read the readings, blocking out all ambient light. This means you can scan a wall in a poorly lit room and get accurate results.

Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or a creative thinker, the Nix Mini 2 Color Sensor can be a useful tool for your next project. Until May 31 at 11:59 pm PT, you can get one for $59.97 (usually $99), no coupon required (although prices can change at any time).
