In the late 1970s my mother and stepfather had an argument about an outfit I was wearing, my mom said it was blue (she should know she bought it) and my stepfather swore it was green. We were at a restaurant celebrating my third anniversary I think and the argument between them went on mostly through dinner. My husband and I were trying hard not to laugh. Well outside in the car my stepfather had to admit that the outfit was blue but looked green under the restaurant lighting. I had not thought of this in a long time but talking about lighting and color reminded me that even humans can get it wrong.

I have a dedicated color detector, and I recall once when it said that a garment was navy blue, and my wife insisted it was black. She took it into a brightly lit room, and determined that it was indeed dark blue.

After reading the descriptions of Color Visor ($4.99) and Colored Eye ($.99) I don't know that it is any worse than the paid apps as changing colors seems to be a problem due to lighting. It would seem to me that the color apps would make the flash turn on like a flashlight app does so the lighting would be dependable. If that were the case I would pay the money. But I have been burned buying apps that someone or other recommended only to find that they don't work for me at least. I really like it when an app lets you try it for free so you can determine if it works for you before putting out the money.
