Hello!

I won’t bore you with the details, but I’m looking for an iOS wallpaper that’s this exact color, but without any of the texture. For my purposes, it needs to be one solid color.

I was wondering if someone out there would be so kind as to help me out. I know there are several different shades of color in this wallpaper, but I’m not too picky - if it’s possible to use Photoshop or something to make a solid-colored wallpaper that’s close to this overall shade and without the texture, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

If on a Mac, something else you can do is go into System Preferences → Desktop & Screensavers. Click on Solid Colors → Custom Color… and use the eye dropper on that background.

And on any decent image editing program, you can use its Eyedropper tool to sample the original image's color and then use that color to paint or flood a new image. In Ps, it would be best to set the sampling area for the Eyedropper tool to its maximum size when sampling from a textured image like the original. Any sampling tool that samples only a single pixel will get spurious results when sampling from an image with texture such as the OP's original image. You need a large sampling area (read: many pixels sampled) to get a good average.
