ColorNamer
Read full descriptionHide full description
ColorNamer helps you identify everyday color names through the iPhone or iPad camera. Point the camera at clothing, objects, paint, lights, or other visible surfaces, adjust the analysis area, and copy the detected color name when needed. I am color blind myself, so I built ColorNamer to make everyday color decisions more confident. The app can be useful for people with color blindness, shoppers, designers, makers, students, and anyone who needs a quick camera color identifier. The app works locally on device. Camera frames are processed on your iPhone or iPad and are not saved or uploaded. ColorNamer does not require an account, internet connection, analytics, ads, or tracking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ColorNamer at every 2 days against Light ARchitect's every 2 months. Light ARchitect's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
