It’s so fun throwing lights on the walls, hanging garlands, and just going wild decorating for the holidays. But then the season ends, and what are you left with? A wall peppered with tiny holes from nails and scuffs from stick-on hooks.

Finding the exact paint color to cover up these spots can feel daunting, but it’s not impossible. In fact, it’s not even hard if you have the right tool. The Nix Mini 3 Color Sensor makes color matching easy. This pocket color sensor allows you to scan any wall, trim, object, or ceiling and quickly identify a perfect match from over 200,000 brand-name paint colors. No more trial and error, and it’s only $79.99.

Scan almost any surface

The Nix Mini 3 can scan almost any surface and tell you exactly what color it is, regardless of weather or light conditions. Thanks to its enhanced optical resolution, the Mini 3 offers 3x the precision of previous versions, helping you get an accurate color read every time, even if the wall has faded from sunlight or time.

For digital artists, the Nix Mini 3 gives you instant access to color codes like RGB, HEX, and CMYK along with paint recommendations. Plus, it’s equipped with IPX4 waterproofing and debris resistance, so it’s ideal for a job site or any DIY setting where a bit of dust or splatter might be unavoidable.

For true paint-matching professionals, the Nix Mini 3 offers access to premium color libraries like Pantone, RAL, and NCS.

And setting up your Mini 3 is super simple. Just download the Nix Toolkit app (included for iOS and Android) and connect your sensor. The app lets you save and organize color swatches and connect instantly to paint brands and retailers.
