[Electronics-talk] color identifiers

[Baracco, Andrew W]

Well, as you know, there are several low and high tech methods to
identify clothing, ranging from using those metal Braille tags from the
Telephone Pioneers to attaching bar code labels to the clothing  and
using something like a pen Friend or ID Mate to read the labels, to
using one of the electronic color identifiers.  I have the one from APH
which is very expensive, but I have found it to be reliable, verifying
its results with a sighted person.  There are much less expensive
electronic color identifiers, but I have not used them, but I'm sure
that others here have, and can tell you about them.  I like an
electronic color identifier because you don't have to attach anything to
the clothing, and it works well in travel situations, where you are
packing and unpacking and arranging the outfits that you plan to wear
each day.  There are also some inexpensive iPhone apps, but it doesn't
seem like your friend has an iPhone if they don't have internet. Also, I
have heard and read that the iPhone apps are more like something for
amusement than an actual tool.

Good Morning Everyone. Has anyone used color identifiers, specifically
for clothing? If you would, please contact me and let me know if this is
a good way to spend your money or if one of the more traditional
clothing identifiers is more affective?  I am asking for a friend who
does not have internet access.  She does not want to spend money on an
expensive identifier if they are not really reliable.  thank you.
