Adjust shades in seconds with this essential DIY tool

Did someone mention that as a homeowner, you become a full-time DIYer? Renters aren’t immune either. A scratch in the paint of your living room? That’s annoying enough. But a broken tile in your bathroom and you don’t know what color to replace? That’s a hassle (and your security deposit is gone).

This color-matching tool won’t touch up your paint or replace your tiles for you, but it can help you find the perfect match without the usual guesswork. Get the Nix Mini 3 here for $79.99 (normally $97).

How is it different from taking a photo with my phone?

You could try taking a photo of your worn wall or chipped tile and taking it to the hardware store to find a matching paint color…but that’s asking for someone to point out a noticeable difference the next time.

The Nix Mini 3 color scanner is much more advanced than your phone’s camera. It blocks out all ambient light and uses a pre-calibrated LED to get accurate readings. You can then view matches of over 200,000 brand colors in the Nix Toolkit app for iOS or Android. That’s much easier, isn’t it? And you won’t have a mismatched splotch of color on your wall.

As for your chipped tiles, the process isn’t as straightforward as painting. First, look at the app’s RGB, HEX and CMYK color codes and see if you can find similar tiles online. Or pay for a temporary subscription through Nix to access Pantone, RAL or NCS color systems and find more accurate options.

Try the Nix Mini 3 for sewing, upholstery, interior design, renovation or graphic design projects. Once you have the device, you will be inspired to use it all over your home.

Grab the Nix Mini 3 digital color scanner for $79.99 (regularly $97) and save 17%.
