[blparent] Colors: some questions

[Judy Jones]

Hi,

Just from my experience, color apps are poor and not dependable, be they
Apple or Android.

The better thing is the Rainbow 2 Color Identifier that can be found on
Amazon.  It is the most accurate one I have found.

But what I did when my girls were younger is go to a fabric store.  I bought
swatches of all the basic plus general colors I could think of, including
silver and gold.  About 16 different colors.  I made sure that the pink, for
instance, was a basic pink, not mauve or dusty rose, or anything like that.
Basic blue green yellow orange purple red, gray, etc.  And of course black
and white.  I used the sewing machine to create a binding and sew together a
cloth booklet about 3 by 3 inches.  I braille labeled each swatch with its
color name by using clear adhesive laminate.

This little book went with us everywhere in the diaper bag or my purse, and
is a very quiet entertainment tool for toddlers.  Also washable.  

Judy

Dear collective wisdom!

 My oldest daughter is just about to turn three. She's at that stage where
she wants to know what color everything is. Is there a good color
identifying app that anyone can recommend? Obviously, I need to be
accessible with voiceover and I would prefer but it doesn't break the bank.
Also, is there anywhere I can purchase a tactile model of the color wheel?
Thanks for any help!
