Thanks Bill, that was a great answer to my inquiry. I just didn't think of those things because my wife is sighted and I just take those things for granted without thinking about it. As a matter of fact, I should have thought about it because sometimes my friends jack around with me and tell me I'm wearing a pink shirt with plaid pants and blue shoes. Now I'm wondering if they were jacking with me or my wife just dresses me funny.

Tom: This is probably a lifestyle question. My wife and I are both blind, so we don't have ready access to people who can describe colors. My work uniform/costume is a suit and tie, and while it's true that as long as you keep the coat and pants together you'll be OK, sometimes dry cleaners just send them back mixed together. So unless you're going to wear unmatched suits, you have to identify the colors of the various coats and pants. I also, on casual days, wear blazers, and that case you have to be able to pick slacks and blazers that are going to either complement each other or hopefully, match. I have a radio with connectors, some red, some black, so a color identifier helps tremendously with identifying those. Yesterday, I was in the process of printing a very large document, and the combo printer/scanner/copier ran out of paper. I was the only person on duty in the division where I work, and we have bboxes of paper, some white, some yellow, some blue, some red which we use in these machines. Without a color identifier, I would never have been able to reload the machine I was using with the same colored paper I was using for this particular print job. I've also used one of these to identify the color of wire in multi-wired cable packs, and that's certainly necessary for some jobs/projects. Certainly not an exhaustive list, but you get the idea.
