Usually does.  I always know what color bandana I put on my guide dog.

    Another alternative is TappTappSee.

    Hi Eileen. This is mostly for my own curiosity. I have a stand
    alone device. It is many years old and it is terrible. I joined
    this discussion just because I had tried some of the iPhone apps
    and found that they were not, for me, all that good. So, thanks
    for wanting to help. At the moment, it is just a scientific
    quest, but thanks for the information in case I decide to go
    there. I might.

    Hi Neal,

    I would like to know how accurate you need the colors and what
    types of activities you would need a color app on the phone? I'm
    not sure who stated this in an earlier post, but if I need a more
    accurate result, I use my stand alone Colorino. This device can
    be purchased from Maxi-Aids, LS and S, to or Independent Living
    Aids. I believe that the cost is about $200, but don't quote me.

        Well, I just installed camfind and it is, so far, about 50%
        accurate. I can hold the object in a stationary position at
        the same distance from the camera and take two pictures which
        are not often identified as being the same color. So far, my
        wife is still more accurate than it is, and if I didn’t have
        sighted assistance, I still don’t know if 50% is accurate
        enough. I’ll play some more, but, so far…

        Do try CamFind!it is free and, in my opinion, absolutely
        wonderful not only colour recognition that it describing
        patterns et cetera.

            Hi Marie. I have also had lousy luck with the color
            identification apps for the iPhone. I would suggest color
            Reno as a good standalone alternative. Color test may be
            the best, but I don't think many blind people have
            upwards of $800 to pay for the best. Julia.
