Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: iCColors at 100% against Chirp Access's 9%. iCColors also leads on rating (3.9 vs 2.0) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). Chirp Access's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 37 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
