The Nix Mini 3 is ideal for professionals who need to identify colors, including interior designers, graphic designers, those in the construction and architecture fields, artists, and more. It's also terrific for DIYers and homeowners.

Here's how it works: You hold the Nix Mini up to any flat surface and press scan. That's it. The Mini works with the Nix Toolkit app to match it to more than 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.

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.
