About this app

Simply point the camera at an object to see what color it is. Great if you are color blind and fun to play with even if you are not!

Snap a picture (or choose from gallery) to view in static mode, with over 1600 color names.

This app is a lifesaver for those of us who are colorblind. I was going to work on writing such an app myself, but took a quick look on the Android Market and found this once. It works well. Although my Atrix camera colors are a bit off (no fault of What Color?), What Color gets me over the red/green hump. The only way I can think of to improve the app is to develop color calibration profiles for the more popular devices. One way I thought of doing this was taking photos of a reference test image.

this is very helpful for my red-green colour blindness. When I navigate away from the app, it locks up, and can be very hard to close without rebooting the phone. I have a Nexus 5 running 4.4.4. It would be great if the dev can fix this. Thanks.

This is somewhat helpful but I can't really truat it since even as a color challenged individual I can tell that it is inaccurate and leans strongly towards red shift on my device in my home This would be fine if there was a white balance tool.
