Speaks the name of the nearest color in the center of a camera preview pane using speech synthesis. Can also show and speak the three RGB 255 numbers. If you lock the exposure and color balance (using the lock icon button in the upper right) while aiming at something medium neutral gray under your current scene's lighting, the color naming scheme will be more accurately centered in the RGB gamut.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Say Color at none against ColoredEye's 1. Say Color also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 61%). ColoredEye's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 50 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
