I'm not sure its just a light issue. I tried both of these apps out in the
sunlight as well as right on our dining room table which has a large light
above it. Didn't matter as these color detectors failed pretty miserably in
both conditions. Heck, both apps could not reliably determine the color of
the paint on one of my bedrooms even though there was lots of light and it
was a large blank wall. In fact, if I left the color detector close to the
wall and leaning on a few books in an effort to eliminate hand movement,
both color detectors would eventually start speaking random colors. The wall
is the same and the placement of the camera is the same, so with good
lighting and all things equal, it appears that $1 or $5 doesn't get you much
in terms of color identification. Then again, the $1 ColoredEye app was the
absolute worst. It feels like I paid for a voice to simply speak random
colors with fancy sounding names and 0 relevance to the object of interest.
The colorVisor was only marginally better. Don't bother with either of these
apps, or at least until an upgrade is posted.

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.

Hi all,
Besides TapTapSee and such, is there an accessible color identifier
many of you have found useful and accessible? If you have a name of
such a utility I would apreciate knowing about it, so I can then
search for details in iTunes store. Thank you.
