We already brought you news of the high-end printer and monitor bundle that reproduces your colours exactly how you see them. Now there's an iPhone application to help artists and designers identify, translate, capture and showcase colour using their iPhone or iPod touch.

"Color Expert features an intuitive, interactive colour wheel to identify a target colour, and then finds several palettes backed by colour theory," a statement from American company Code Line said, after we'd corrected its spelling of "color".

Code Line says it's "indispensable" for designers, artists, decorators and anyone else who works with colour.

Matheau Dakoske, Code Line developer and graphic artist, said it was like "carrying a swatch book in your back pocket".

Features include:
* Color Expert's exclusive "snap & tap" technology. Just snap a photo and let your finger select that perfect colour. From your eyes to the screen.
* Powerful, interactive colour wheel with multiple color schemes including Monochromatic, Analogous, Complementary, Split Complementary and Triadic.
* Quickly search through Pantone solid coated, Pantone solid uncoated, Pantone Goe coated, Pantone Goe uncoated, Web Safe Colours and HTML Colours.
* Email your palette ideas to friends, colleagues and clients. Color Expert provides a rich, HTML based email you can send from your iPhone or iPod touch.

Color Expert is available now at an introductory price of $9.99 from the iTunes App Store.
