They scientifically measure the wavelength of the light reflected back from
their internal light source. Because they have their own light source, and
because you place the sensor touching the object, the amount of light is
constant. The device is not affected at all by room light. You can use them in
complete darkness, and they will work the same way that they would if you used
it in a television studio.

Then how do the stand alone detectors do it?

Colour always looks different depending on the lighting and shading in the
area. The person's brain makes automatic shifts in order to recognise the
colour. Apps are not able to do this. They always report exactly what they
detect. They do not make the human mental adjustments. Camera optics will not
help with this factor.

Hi Neal, for what it’s worth, I’ve tried just about every color detection
app I could get my hands on and have yet to find anything that even comes close
to being acceptable. That was on my iPhone 4s and 5s. I haven’t done this on my
6 plus yet but honestly I probably won’t bother unless there is some sort of
major breakthrough. I found them all to be very lacking in terms of accuracy.
Hopefully things will change with better optics. It would certainly be
wonderful to have an accurate color detector on our phones.
Best regards,

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.

Could anyone recommend a good app?
