Every DIYer has a weakness. What’s yours? Sure, you might have mad skills when decorating your fixer-upper with yard sale finds or lightning-fast fingers when commenting on Facebook Marketplace posts first, but you might be terrible at paint matching. That mismatched spot in your living room is living-proof.

You don’t have to be an artist to find the right color matches—you just need this paint scanner. The Nix Mini 3 can read and match the color on your wall to thousands of name-brand paint colors so that you can buy the right one this time. Order one here for $79.99 (reg. $97).

How does it work?

Unlike taking a picture with your phone and trying to match it to swatches at the paint store, the Nix Mini 3 has a calibrated light to capture the perfect color match under any lighting condition. It’s also far more accurate than your phone or trying to guess with your eyeballs.

Ready to do a paint touch-up? Just swipe the color grabber tool over your wall and view matching paint colors on your iPhone, iPad, or Android. The Nix Toolkit app also shows you codes like HEX, RGB, and CMYK if you ever do digital art projects.

What else can I use it for?

The Nix Mini 3 works on any smooth surface. Try it on vinyl and order matching fabric online for your next sewing project.

Or maybe you’ll find the exact hue of your kitchen countertop so you know what backsplash would look just right when you head to the home improvement store. The same trick works if you’re ordering tile or carpet. Or anything, really.

With this must-have DIY tool, your projects will never be the same. Get your Nix Mini 3 color-matching sensor for $79.99 (reg. $97).
