</div>
<div dir="auto">I've been speaking to Tudor Paul Scripor about helping you and others with the same dilemma about picking colors. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">He's developed a tactile set of words just for colors. He's won awads in his home of Romania and other countries. He'd like to meet via Zoom if you're interested. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">To prep for the meeting he'd like you to have 20 beans or pennies or anything else small and tactile. Not marbles since they are uncooperative about staying still. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Since he's 12 hours ahead of us it would have to be morning. Does that sound interesting to you? Maybe next week? </div>

<div class="PlainText">Hi Ann,<br>
<br>
Thanks so much for your quick reply. I will certainly give the app you<br>
suggested a try. I have another app I've used, I can't think of the<br>
name, but it is not very accurate. I've also used the color option on<br>
the SEeingAI app. The issue I'm finding is the need to have almost<br>
perfect and consistent lighting to get accurate readings each time.<br>
For instance, it will read the color as red, than pink, than bright<br>
red, etc.<br>
<br>
The main reason I'm interested in the color wheel, however, is not<br>
necessarily color detection. The wheel is supposed to be laid out in a<br>
way that allows users to locate colors on the wheel, and use their<br>
locations to identify analogous colors, complementary colors, etc. I<br>
am looking for a good method of identifying when different colors fit<br>
with each other. Especially when you start to get away from the super<br>
basic colors like blue or green, and into more variants such as aqua<br>
or teal.<br>
<br>
I hope that all makes sense.<br>
<br>
Thanks again!<br>
<br>
