[Electronics-Talk] Rainbow color reader

[S L Johnson]

Hi,

I am glad you like it.  I am going to buy one for myself as my late
Christmas present to me.  I had the Colorino once and ended up sending it
back because it made too many mistakes such as telling me my grey pants were
green and my navy pants were purple.  I like the fact that the rainbow will 
tell you if it is a pale shade of bink or medium or dark.  The price is more 
affordable.  if the product lives up to all the expectations it is supposed 
to have then I will be very happy.

One of my presents yesterday was the Rainbow Color Reader.  I really like
it.  It's only about 2 by 3 inches, and pretty flat, so will be easy to drop
into a pocket or purse.  And it gives ordinary color names.  My old detector
was the Cobol, and I never did figure out what "grey olive green" was.  This
new one says things like beige, or yellow-colors I know.  My dog is pale
beige, according to it.

It's available on Amazon, and the price I saw advertised was $99.

The ad claims it will read the color of LED lights, which could be very
handy, though I haven't tried that yet.

Here's the description from Amazon:



Introducing the new version of the Rainbow II Color Reader, a talking color
identifier for the visually impaired and color blind. Small, accurate and
easy to use, the Rainbow Color Reader can easily fit in a pocket. With over
40 colors, it provides accurate color discrimination without confusing the
user with odd color names or vague descriptions of the color. Only one
button and only a single AAA battery (included) means simple operation and
maintenance!
