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.

These solutions work best when they have their own light source, as then the
lighting is controlled.  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.

I downloaded one called Color ID which is free but it seems the colors
change as I move the phone.  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.
