In this case I was outdoors in full sunlight.  Any app that can't discriminate 
a color in that situation is suspect, if not fully unreliable.

  Subject: Re: Best color identifier?


  On Friday evening, I was at a dance. The lights were on. I started asking a 
lady what colour various articles of clothing I was wearing were. Several 
times, she was not sure. She said the lighting in the hall caused a different 
shading, so she couldn't tell very well.


  Now, if a sighted person has difficulty and variability based on lighting and 
other factors, how can we expect a colour ID app to do better? It really 
depends on many factors.

    Any suggestions for the best one out there?  Currently I have Color ID, but 
it's less than reliable.  Just now it told me my skin was purplish blue.  
Either there's something terribly wrong with me or with the app, and I feel 
pretty healthy, so I suspect the latter.
