I can shop for ties on my own now. I wish I had this when I had a job that required ties.

Hex color

Would be great if you could get the RGB value/hex value for the color.


Finally!

PERFECT! Being color blind it's nice to finally see an app that just simply says "orange" and not "mango tango". Thank you!


Super Great!

For those times when you need to know what that color is, this is simply amazing.


Broad

This color identifier is easy to use. It's color categories are very broad, which are a blessing and a curse. On the plus side, the results are very reproducible (so you won't observe 50 shades of gray on a single chair). On the minus side, the program seems overly liberal with it's naming of "brown" colors. This app needs a few extra color classes for brown-orange colors, but otherwise good.


Nice app

Very simple to use. Just point and read. The other similar app talked too much.
