Seems to be accurate. Review: Great for accurate colour swatch - I’ve been using this colour sensor for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly impressive how accurate and quick it is. I used it to match a wall colour that was painted years ago, and it found the closest brand match instantly — something I couldn’t do by eye or even with paint chips. The fact that it supports over 200,000 brand-name paints and gives digital values like RGB, HEX, CMYK, and more is a huge plus for both decorating and digital design projects. The design is compact, durable, and feels premium — no surprise it’s won design awards like the Red Dot. I also appreciate that it’s USB-C rechargeable and works well with Bluetooth. The app interface is straightforward, and the Nix Toolkit makes it easy to navigate between paint libraries and digital colour values. That said, the calibration tile might be needed if you're seeing colour drift, and results can vary a bit depending on your phone’s screen brightness or settings. Also, it’s best for full wall or surface scans — not for tiny touch-ups, as colour matching in isolated areas isn’t always perfect. Pros: Lightning-fast and very accurate colour matching Supports major global paint brands (Behr, Sherwin-Williams, etc.) Gives instant digital colour codes (RGB, HEX, etc.) Great design – portable, rechargeable, and durable Professional-level results with minimal effort Cons: Paint libraries may vary by country or region Not ideal for touch-up jobs on small patches Paid subscription required for Pantone, RAL, and NCS databases Calibration tile may be needed if accuracy drifts over time All in all, this is a game-changer for designers, decorators, or anyone wanting perfect colour matching. It’s faster and more precise than any method I’ve tried before — highly recommended if you’re serious about colour accuracy. ## Features - Troubleshooting Use Calibration Tile If There Is A Drift In Color Accuracy Screen Brightness And Settings Impact How The Color Will Appear On Your Device First Party Support And Compatibility Is Only Available With Android And Ios Devices - Award Winning Design Multi Year German Design And Red Dot Design Award Winners Professionally Reviewed And Endorsed By Cnet As The Top Choice For Paint Colour Sensors - Faster Than The Human Eye Scan Any Object Or Surface To Instantly Match To 200 000 Brand Name Paints Not Just For Paint Instant Rgb Hex Cmyk And More Digital Colour Values Match To Pantone Ral And Ncs Premium Databases With A Paid Subscription - Precision Palette: Globally Recognized Match To Top Paint Brands Including Benjamin Moore Behr Ppg Valspar Sherwin Williams And More Paint Libraries Vary By Country Region Explore The 'Nix Toolkit App' To Verify Your Preferred Paint Brand And Library Is Offered Note: Not Recommended For Touch Jobs Paint The Entire Wall Or Surface Edge To Edge For Consistent Results - Durable Rechargeable And Portable Design Connect With Bluetooth Scan Instantly With No Calibration Required Dust And Water Resistance Usb C Rechargeable Lithium Battery ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BGQMYJLS | | Box Contents | Diagnostic Tile, Lanyard Nix, Soft USB-C Cable | | Brand Name | Nix | | Country of Origin | Canada | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (769) | | Manufacturer | Nix Sensor Ltd. | | Model Name | Nix Mini 3 | | Network Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | UPC | 674650000033 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nix - **Connectivity technology:** Bluetooth - **Maximum Supported Paper Size:** A3+ - **Model name:** Nix Mini 3 - **UPC:** 674650000033 ## Images ![Nix Mini 3 Color Sensor - Paint Color Matching, CMYK, RGB, HEX. - Real-Life eyedropper Tool - for Painters, Graphic Designers, and More. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61n8o276WHL.jpg) ![Nix Mini 3 Color Sensor - Paint Color Matching, CMYK, RGB, HEX. - Real-Life eyedropper Tool - for Painters, Graphic Designers, and More. - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71F5B7JVXKL.jpg) ![Nix Mini 3 Color Sensor - Paint Color Matching, CMYK, RGB, HEX. - Real-Life eyedropper Tool - for Painters, Graphic Designers, and More. - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uY4-ATytL.jpg) ![Nix Mini 3 Color Sensor - Paint Color Matching, CMYK, RGB, HEX. - Real-Life eyedropper Tool - for Painters, Graphic Designers, and More. - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xnCN4AWhL.jpg) ![Nix Mini 3 Color Sensor - Paint Color Matching, CMYK, RGB, HEX. - Real-Life eyedropper Tool - for Painters, Graphic Designers, and More. - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91uuFN6MVXL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How to get started?** A: 1.) Charge your device; it will pulse orange while charging and green when complete. 2.) Download the Nix Toolkit App for Android or iOS. Enable Bluetooth, then connect your device through the app. Remember to read the quick start guide thoroughly! **Q: How do I get the best performance in paint matching?** A: For best results, it is recommended to measure a selection of areas on your walls. Your existing paint may have faded, or become dirty, differently in different areas. Taking an average reading will provide best results. **Q: How do I change paint brands?** A: In the top right corner of the "Match to Paints" feature there is a icon of a paint fan deck. Click that and it will allow you to change the paint brand you are matching to without having to measure or scan your sample again. **Q: Any other tips for achieving the best accuracy?** A: 1.) Make sure your Nix Mini 3 is firmly touching the surface to be measured. 2.) Make sure your device is clean and free of smudges. 3.) If a surface is highly textured, like fabric, the Nix Mini 3 will return darker than expected results. **Q: I have a problem with accuracy or performance, what do I do?** A: 1.) Follow the troubleshooting steps. 2.) Use the included diagnostics tile in the Nix Toolkit App 3.) Reach out to Nix Sensor Support and we'd be happy to help! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleased with my purchase. *by A***S on 18 April 2026* Works well from the few times I have used it.

Ive used a nix colour sensor before and this Mini 3 is a great improvement on older generations inc the app features and general use-ability. I mainly use the sensor in the Construction Industry/Surveying/Project Management sector. Really works a treat and the improvements to the device and app are very welcome and make the process incredibly easy and professional and more importantly, accurate!! I pay for the premium Paint subscription for RAL collections. Which again, helps tremendously and i can save and share the collected data / scanned colours. I also bought and would totally recommend a protective case to put the NIx Mini 3,.. (My Choice was the Ugreen Earphone Case.) The Nix Mini 3 is a calibrated small device, so a “Hard Shell” type which i have used before for other items , and found it again, to be perfect for the Job. I still carry RALL Swatch cards like the K5 for Gloss & Semi Matt samples and they can be great as a confirmation on site, But to be completely honest,….they are Not needed anymore as I have found the accuracy of the Mini 3 absolutely Spot On. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nix Mini 3 Color Sensor Colorimeter - Portable Color Matching Tool - Dust Debris and Splash Resistant (IPX4) - Identify and match paint and digital color values instantly - Carburetor Carbon Dirt Jet Cleaner Tool Kit 18 Cleaning Needles with 12 Brush and 2 Throttle Wrench --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/506189258-nix-mini-3-color-sensor-paint-color-matching-cmyk-rgb](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/506189258-nix-mini-3-color-sensor-paint-color-matching-cmyk-rgb) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
