A little touchy, but what can you expect with hexidecimal values?

Alright, so this is an app that is supposed to identify colours around you by their "official names". Might be useful for a typical male, as we tend to call 10,000 various shades of colours as "blue" or "green" etc. lol.

The app is very touchy in its colour identification. Aiming at the same thing something in two different spots will, in most cases, give you two different colour readings. Useful for entertainment if nothing else anyway. However I imagine this app would work best in bright outdoor natural light, so that it cant confuse black with "Green Waterloo". It may be my energy saving lightbulbs messing with that too, so I will make that allowance and not totally blame the app. Besides that, it uses hex values from #000000 to #FFFFFF, which is 16.7 million colours, roughly. So its totally understandable, when you think about it.

I imagine its greatest usefulness would be for if you are mixing paint, as you can get the name and the hex value of the colour you want and then go to any paint mixing shop, and they should be able to do it up easy for you. So it isnt totally useless. I have spent more money on worse apps, lets put it like that.

And hey, women seem to be able to discern many more colour palettes than men. Thats not sexism, just a fact of life. This app might help us men in that department. Who knows, she might be impressed with your knowledge, as long as you mute the sound and pretend youre not using it. ;)

Overall, well, its only a buck. If youre not a teenager who has to ask mom and dad to use their credit card to buy apps, you might as well go for it. Theres definitely worse out there. As such, the app is average, nothing special or overly useless, and gets a three from me.
