Tom: A color identifier is a device which examines an object and speaks its color. There are several different types and models out there. My wife has one from APH which works pretty well, and I have one made my Codefactory on my Nokia N82 cell phone. You have to calibrate mine for the lighting conditions, but once you do that, it works pretty well. It will, when set to do so, give you the confidence level as well, multiple colors and the location of the different colors it sees. The N82's camera though doesn't allow the software to distinguish between light and darker shades, but other than that, it's a handy thing to have.
