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

  • 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.

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.

I’ve tried four different apps to assist with partial color vision impairment, and this is the best I’ve tried so far.

Oleg, The app reports that it’s not authorized to use the rear camera and it appears not to be changeable. Use of camera is an important factor for my application. Please advise. Thanks, George
