In the world of standalone color identifiers, yes the Colorino is very good. Also the Rainbow 2 by Emerson Electronics is also very good for basic colors and costs about $50 less than the Colorino.
However, if you want to know if your shirt has a pattern, you will need either sighted assistance or use an app like iDentifi or TapTapSee. They will usually also tell you that it is blue, white, red, green flowers or whatever. Granted, the color accuracy with the iPhone camera is not as good as the stand alone devices, but it can get you roughly in the ball park. If you truly want accurate color identification you will have to have a sighted person assist you in labelling the clothes in some form. Digit-Eyes makes great labels that can be sown into a garment and you can record as detailed a description as you like, but that is fairly time intensive. This is all up to each person's level of detail they wish to know. I have to admit, while I test all these things for clients, I cheat and just have my sighted wife tell me what something is and whether they go together. What can I say, I'm lazy, grin. If I was on my own again, I would go the Digit-Eyes label route or cut my wardrobe back to what it was in my single days where everything matched so it didn't matter. I figure since my wife wanted me to dress in more colors, it is her job to keep things straight, ha, ha.

The Colorino will say maybe "Intensive Red" or something like that, but pretty clear what it means and much more reliable than anything you can get for the iPhone. They do also seem to last since I had mine for probably 15 years and all I ever do is to replace the batteries maybe once a year.

I've tried apps that announce colors like: Royal Canadian Mist". So what color is that? See what I'm saying? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2017 6:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: color identifier app also iDentifi does a good job. but you need to know that none of them are going to be anywhere near what a sighted person sees, especially with patterns or different shades. But either app, TapTapSee or iDentifi will be close, depending on lighting of course.
