Good App

I’m am color blind. I’d suggest an option for a general color category rather than a specific color shade. For instance, sometimes I only want to know if the car is green or brown, not the particular shade. A second request would be a feature that can tell if two colors match each other. For instance, does the shirt match the pants? I’d like to place the two pieces of clothing next to each other, take a photo, and then select a color from each item and get an analysis on how well they match.

The accuracy score is a big help.

Really appreciate this app. As an illustrator who’s eyes always mix up medium to dark values with less saturated versions of reds/greens, along with light values of highly saturated greens/yellows; it’s nice to have an app that can help on-the-go. While the results are not exact, that’s actually a benefit. Since our eyes all see color differently, it gets me close to the color that’s analyzed, and then I can make adjustments to it as I see fit.
