Features & Capabilities

Color Inspector is designed to help colorblind and other vision impaired people differentiate and identify difficult colors by evaluating live video to describe the color in view. With options like zoom, varying sample sizes, and torch settings*, it's easy to make sure you've got the right name for the right color.

Color Inspector features full VoiceOver support for its live color processing.

Please note that metallic and other shiny surfaces can easily take on the colors of the objects reflected in them and of the light around them. If you find colors that you believe were misidentified, please feel free to submit them as described in the application.

*Not all functionality is available on all devices.

User Reviews

Color Inspector is praised for helping colorblind users identify colors quickly and shop independently, with a simple interface and broad color categories that stay reliable under shadows. However, several reviewers note inconsistent color accuracy, sometimes misidentifying colors (notably greens), and a clunky or confusing navigation experience. Feature gaps include RGB/HEX outputs and using existing photos. Overall, it's a helpful, user-friendly tool with room to improve precision and advanced options.

Pros

Helps colorblind users identify colors quickly, enabling independent shopping.
Simple, easy-to-use interface with fast, straightforward results.
Broad color categories with common names, avoiding overly technical shades.
Consistent results across lighting and shadows, improving reliability.
Reduces anxiety about color choices and eliminates reliance on others.

Cons

Color accuracy can be inconsistent; greens and other hues may be misidentified.
Navigation/controls can feel unintuitive or awkward.
Missing features such as RGB/HEX output and the ability to use existing photos.
Some color naming is overly liberal (e.g., many brown hues) and shade granularity is limited.

I can’t decide whether this app is more or less colorblind than me. It seems to struggle with green. I find it hard to trust it.
