## What is Color Name Recognizer Camera?

What is the name of this color?

Point your camera at an object and Color Name Recognizer Camera identifies the color in real time. Along with a human-readable name, the app shows RGB, hexadecimal, HSV, and CIE L*a*b values for the sampled color.

Choose a simple color-name table for familiar names or a larger table for more specific results. Free users can select tables containing up to 50 base color names. The 100-name table requires Premium. Premium users can use multilingual tables containing up to 1,500 names.

• Hear the recognized color name spoken aloud
• Explore color contrast grids
• Check exact WCAG contrast ratios, AA/AAA results, and accessible alternatives
• Audit every color pair in a Palette Project
• Describe colors by tone, intensity, temperature, and broad color family

COLOR VALUES

RGB components are shown from 0 to 255. Hexadecimal values use the #RRGGBB format. HSV shows hue, saturation, and value. CIE L*a*b uses the D65 reference white and provides a perceptual representation of color.

Recognition results can vary with lighting, reflections, camera exposure, and device characteristics. The app is an identification aid and is not a calibrated colorimeter.

Color Vision Assistant simulations and confusion advisories are estimates for accessibility and design review. They are not a medical test or diagnosis and do not represent every person's perception.

### 5/5 — A sincere thank you to the developers of this app!

I’m colorblind and I can’t begin to imagine how many times I’ve had to ask friends, family, and even total strangers in a store “Hey, what color is this?”. Having this app on my phone is a game changer in the dull world of deuteranopia!

I’m not sure if this was the intended use, but guys, thanks!

I don't know what the color means. I don't understand if I have to mix the three colors to get the color I want to have?
