The Rainbow II is definitely the best color identifier I've seen. More on that later. Boop Light Detector is free, and a great app for checking if a light is on. There is also one just called Light Detector that is ยข99 which also works great. I know the color identification is not perfect, but TapTapSee or iDentifi do a great job with patterns, be it flowers, stripes, whatever. I have a shirt that is mostly blue but it has a pattern of fish around the hem and it even knew they were piranha. Back to the Rainbow II. The head of Emerson Electronics is a woman who is blind, and her husband is the head engineer. He designed the Rainbow II for her. Also, my wife is a quilter. She recently made a quilt with 145 different fabrics. The Rainbow II was able to identify most of the various shades. It does not waste time with odd names. HTH, Richard
