I will certainly give the app you<br class="">suggested a try. I have another app I've used, I can't think of the<br class="">name, but it is not very accurate. I've also used the color option on<br class="">the SEeingAI app. The issue I'm finding is the need to have almost<br class="">perfect and consistent lighting to get accurate readings each time.<br class="">For instance, it will read the color as red, than pink, than bright<br class="">red, etc.<br class=""><br class="">The main reason I'm interested in the color wheel, however, is not<br class="">necessarily color detection.
