DEAL NEWS – The Nix Mini 2 Color Sensor instantly identifies any of 100,000 different colors, paint shades, fabric dyes, and more. Right now, it’s on sale for just $59.97.

There’s one on virtually every holiday shopping list: a friend or family member born with an acute eye for style and aesthetics. Whether an artist, a fashionista, or a home design maven, they can tell if a color is just right.

This holiday season, you can supplement their natural ability with the super-handy gadget they probably didn’t even know they craved with a Nix Mini 2 Color-Matching Sensor

The Nix Mini works just like how the Shazam app instantly identifies songs. Instead of songs, the Nix Mini 2 does the same with color. Once you’re synced via Bluetooth with the Nix app, just run the ping-pong ball-sized Nix Mini over any surface, whether it’s a paint layer, vinyl, leather, plastic, fabric, dyes, or anything. 

Zipping through its massive library of more than 100,000 brand-name paint colors, as well as a full range of RGB, HEX, CMYK, and LAB hues, the Nix Mini uses a high-resolution, finely calibrated sensor for precise processing to instantly identify that color, then saves it to reference later.

If you find a color you love, the Nix Mini 2 will not only tell you the color you want, but it’ll also cross-reference with paint brands like Benjamin Moore, Dulux, Farrow and Ball, and Sherwin Williams to find the closest possible match.

Portable enough to attach to a keychain or bag, USB-rechargeable, and both Android and iOS compatible, the Nix Mini is an indispensable assistant for any design pro or weekend DIYer. It even allows you to share colors with family members or clients.

“The ease of use of this device is incredible! Several interior rooms that I painted 20 years ago were in need of some minor touch-ups. This device was spot on in selecting the correct Behr paint colors. This device has already paid for itself,” happy customer Steven Byars said in his five-star review.
