Colour Blend

Colour Blend is a mobile appli­ca­tion for devices run­ning on the Google Android plat­form. It iden­ti­fies the colour of what­ever is cur­rently in the cam­era pre­view, dis­play­ing the colour in words as well as the RGB value. Colour Blend is par­tic­u­larly use­ful for peo­ple who suf­fer from any form of colour blind­ness. Colour analy­sis is fully auto­matic and does not require any user action.

Gen­eral tips:

  • Colour Blend works best under well-lit con­di­tions; try to adjust the cam­era set­tings if results are not satisfactory.
  • Click on the rotat­ing arrow icon if you wish to acti­vate man­ual mode.
  • To save an image, press the track­ball whilst in man­ual mode. Make sure you have an SD card inserted.
  • Colour Blend requires Android 2.1 or bet­ter. If you can’t find the appli­ca­tion in the Android Mar­ket, this is prob­a­bly the reason.
  • Colour Blend works by choos­ing the clos­est colour that is present in the cur­rent colour scheme. Try exper­i­ment­ing with the dif­fer­ent schemes available.
