Eric,
I think I used to have a app that did this, but can't remember what it was 
called and don't have it on my phone at  present. I just went to the App Store 
and downloaded an app called ColourDetector, but it seems to be a very strange 
app that I don't understand and certainly isn't the one are used to have. could 
you possibly either send a link or give more details of the colour detector app 
you are using?

thanks, Sandy
