This is an application to detect colors using your mobile phone. Take a photo tapping on the screen and the color in the center of the screen is analyzed and shown in HTML, RGB and HSV notation.
The nearest color name is also shown and spoken. Also shows the main component (hue) of the color. Recognizes 1600 different color names. At the left shows the nearest color (up) and the photo color (down).
For a proper recognition needs enough light. Also needs to have installed the Speech Synthesis API.
Is useful for color blind people, designers or simply as an amusement.
It is avaiable for FREE on the Android Market (supported by ads).
Finally, and after trying lots of color lists, it is now using on the color list of the app “Color Name & Hue” by Daniel Flueck at
