'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

The pocket-sized Nix Mini has a sleek and sophisticated design. It can block ambient light and provide the most accurate readings with its calibrated light source. The device can scan all types of surfaces, such as painted walls, fabric, vinyl, leather, plastic, dyes, and much more.
Then simply use the Nix Digital app to instantly match the scan to HEX, CMYK, LAB, and sRGB codes for your websites or media.

You can save favorite palettes to the apps and organize them for future reference. You can even share colors with customers, colleagues, and friends via email or social media.
The Nix Mini's solid-state technology connects via Bluetooth and is powered by a rechargeable battery. A micro USB cable with all the standard plugs is included, as is free lifetime access to the iPhone and Android Nix Digital and Nix Paints apps.
