It may be identifying the colors but I can't tell because the font is so small I can't read it

U70%

Wonderful app that predicts the color of the image by snapping.

U70%
by U####:

Colours are not very accurate. Works best with distant objects for me because sometimes the flash fires and sometimes it doesn't. I'm not sure how to turn the flash off.

I had to remove my battery to restart my phone

Q70%

Not much info, too noisy, ad on screen. See color capture & identifier...

It gave me 5 different colours for the same shirt. Disappointed.

N70%
by N####:

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No more asking random people while clothes shopping. No more being made fun of for "not matching" whatever the f that's supposed to mean. App works perfectly easy, point and it tells you the color. That's so awesome!

It's very useful for colourblind peoples......

Results too small to read. No way to increase the text size.

K70%
by K####:

Complex color names, speach, and great accuracy (especially if there's a lot of white in view, so auto white balance is correct). Thank you! A+++! Suggestion: exposure compensation! If you have a big dark object filling the screen, it becomes mid-grey. Suggestion#2: white balance calibration! That would make your app the very best available.

First off .. it takes a pic and not only that but clicks when it does. Lastly, the accent of the speaker makes me cross. Why not use the phone's internal synthetic voice instead of a speaker from an unknown part of the bloody globe.

Works very well on my galaxy S2, colour match is really quite good in good light conditions. The html code for the colour is also accurate. Nice app recommended.

K70%
by K####:

It is helpful for me as I am color blind for some colors

G70%
by G####:

Fantastic app!! Eyes detect colour relative to surrounding areas. May improve detection if you could calibrate by pointing it at something white. Also only as good as your phones camera & don't think it has calibration for different makes. That said it's great for what it is!

X70%
by X####:

More or less works, but not super well. Probably won't be keeping it.

As advertised. Many cool color names

Tried all white balance settings. 90% of results are wrong. Samsung Captivate, CyanogenMod 7.1 (Android 2.3.7)

Works really well.

Although it's not 100% accurate, it does everything pretty well

But would be nice if there was way to save the colors you snapped with the info for later reference like as a photo.

The colour decided upon varied with distance from the (wall). I got five different colours depending on distance.

I am deuteranomalous, and although after years and years I've finally learned the ability to doubt myself with regard to greens - but with this app, my confidence is back :D -- suggestion: exposure compensation! If you have a big dark object filling the screen, it becomes mid-grey. This should be easy to implement. Suggestion#2: white balance calibration! Maybe there's an open-source script somewhere --it would make your app the very best available. Thank you! A++++!

I tried this on my tablet and phone and no matter what setting it could not give me the correct color. Most of the time Whites was blues , browns were reds, grays were greens. Tried with and without flash. Tried selecting type of lighting and it made no difference.
