## What is Contrast Scout?

Contrast Scout is a camera-assisted color notebook for makers choosing labels, thread, paint, or signage.

If you are color-vision-deficient, or you simply want a second opinion before you commit to vinyl, embroidery thread, or a painted sign, Contrast Scout helps you compare two physical colors in the real world — not in a sRGB mockup.

HOW IT WORKS
• Point the finder at a material and sample color A, then color B.
• See the contrast ratio plus a plain-language result: easy to tell apart, readable, large marks only, or may blend.
• Preview small labels and large lettering using your two samples.
• Save swatches in an on-device notebook.
• Simulate protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia before you buy more paint or thread.
• Share a text report with HEX values, the ratio, and craft notes (Scout Unlock).

BUILT FOR THE BENCH
Most contrast checkers assume a website. Contrast Scout starts with the spool, the chip, or the sign in your hand. Sample with the camera, a photo, or the color picker. Everything is processed on your iPhone or iPad. There is no account and no photo upload.

SCOUT UNLOCK — $4.99 ONCE
Not a subscription. Unlock unlimited saved palettes and shareable text reports. The free notebook holds 8 swatches. Restore purchases with your Apple ID.

PLEASE READ
Readings are estimates affected by lighting, shadows, gloss, and camera white balance. Contrast Scout is not a safety, ADA, OSHA, or WCAG certification. Use it as a workshop notebook, not as a compliance stamp.

Reviewer notes

Hello App Review,

Contrast Scout is a camera-assisted notebook for comparing colors on physical crafts (labels, thread, paint, signage).

The camera is used only to sample a color under the on-screen finder. Frames are processed on device and are never uploaded.

To test without a studio setup: open Scout and tap “Try an example” (navy label + cream thread), or use the photo / color picker. Then open Notebook, Simulate, and More.

Scout Unlock (com.geeksdobyte.ContrastScout.unlock) is a one-time $4.99 non-consumable for unlimited palettes and text reports. Restore is in More. There is no account and no tracking.

Readings are estimates affected by lighting. The app states it is not a safety or accessibility certification.
