Color Identifier
By GreenGar Studios
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Description
Color Identifier uses the camera on your iPhone or iPod touch to speak the names of colors in real-time.
It's a new Augmented Reality app for discovering the names of the colors around you!
The color names are fun and specific: Paris Daisy, Lavender Rose, Moon Mist, and many more.
It can be a useful app for the blind and visually impaired, but I think it's fun for everyone.
It will also tell you the hex value of the color, so you can identify exactly what color the camera sees.
It's fast, easy, and fun! Try it today.
Color Identifier will appear as "Color ID" on your home screen.
Color names are from Chirag Mehta, who used Wikipedia, Crayola, and Color-Name Dictionaries like Resene.
The next update will include simple color names to make the results easier to understand :)

• Simple Colors option offers simple color names.
• Support for torch (flash) on iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.

I don't trust the colors
I just downloaded this and walked it around In and around the outside of the house. It’s a fairly bright day with a little cloud cover. I have no inside lights on, just the light that comes through the windows/skylights. This app keeps telling me things are colored with blues, violets, and pinks that aren’t there. My tree trunks are not violet, my house is not blue, and my wood floors are not pale blue. This app is worthless for me and I’ll be deleting it. Also, you cannot turn off the voice that tells the colors, even though the color is written on screen. Finally, menu options are not where I expect them to be. The “open in” button has menu items like “toggle torch” and “use exotic colors.” I could easily get over most faults, but the colors have to be right.
Terrible
REALLY bad app. Wish I saved my $ for something that works.
