User Reviews

What a color? is highly valued by colorblind users and praised for its ease of use and generally solid accuracy, offering more color information than many competitors. However, multiple reviews raise privacy/data-handling concerns and note occasional color mislabeling or inaccuracies. A few users also mention stability issues. Overall, it’s a useful tool for distinguishing colors and communicating color details, with transparency and reliability as the main caveats.

Pros

Excellent for colorblind users and repeatedly praised as among the best color-vision impairment apps.
Generally accurate color detection with more hue information than many other color analyzers.
Easy to use with a simple, intuitive interface.

Cons

Privacy and data-handling concerns; reviewers request disclosure of privacy practices and worry about data collection.
Some reviewers report color mislabeling or inaccuracies in certain cases.

This app did exactly what I needed, which was to generate the hex color code from a portion of a photo. It even includes the closest Pantone color as well for your convenience. It is currently ad sponsored but they are not at all obnoxious. I was grateful that it worked on my older iPhone 8 Plus, which can’t be upgraded beyond iOS 16.x I highly recommend this app!

I’d like the color info to be on the first screen. I’d like to see where the hue angle falls on a color wheel. I’d like to be able to change the exposure on my camera before taking the photo. Nice app.
