Color Reader

Aimed the camera at something everyone say is brown (I have problems with red/brown/green) and all I got was different shades of gray - that was when I managed to read the tiny text displaying the values.

Always crashes after image is taken. Using a lg g4.

Not sure how to use it. It gives a readout of the color but it is so itsy bitsy tiny that I can't read it without a magnifying glass. Would prefer something that actually froze the color you pick and give a larger size text identifying the rgb readout.

As if you need to be told, there is only one way to make the colors match: white light.

I think what this needs is a white balance option, like on a camera, so that the colour cast of the light is corrected for better.

But the rectangle isn't adjustable, and there's no white balance setting.

Rectangle is too big. Color perception depends heavily on ambient lighting. Yellow wall is dim grey, green couch is slate grey, white ceiling is pink?

Awesome concept. The rectangle is a bit large. Hard to target a specific area of an object without hold the camera right up to it. 5 stars if fixed.

It tells me that white is grey, sometimes silver. Green is grey. Not very useful. Needs a lot of work.

It's baffling that it (as so many others I've tried) have yet to improve with the option for using this tool with images saved in the gallery! Only found 2 that will and this sums my score and will try again next year.

Can't save results? Please!

kinda handy if you're colourblind

تطبيق جميل ولاكن دون فائده يقرا اللون يعني كل مربع يعطيك اللون الي يمر عليه بالكاميرا

Everything is grey.

Works well, with the right lighting.

Works nicely. Needs an option to turn on the flash: so th colour that's read is less dependent on the ambient light

So many colors!

As with all apps of this kind I've tried on Android, the colour detected is greatly influenced by lighting and the surface. Accuracy really isn't that great, it detects my hand as grey in most lighting conditions (I am not an alien!) detects wooden handles as orange, etc. I presume this inaccuracy is due to the limitations of the hardware so the author can't really be blamed for that. HOWEVER, it does appear useful for detecting greens and browns at least some of the time, and so does have uses for colour blind users like me. It is also free, unlike other similar apps on here with the exact same problems, and doesn't suspiciously ask for internet access or any other permissions that it shouldn't need.

It work realllly bad in the night I have soneing purple it says is red

Good

Great
