[Nfb-krafters-korner] Cobolt color identifier

[qubit]

Hello --
I don't have that product, but I do have a Color Test, which cost a 
ridiculous price that was considerable more than that and the Color Test 
frequently gives strange results like that as well.  For example, I have 
blue pants that it insists are either gray or aubergene (purple).  In fact, 
it tends to read in the purple direction in a lot of situations.  It 
confuses brown and purple.  It doesn't get shades of red, pink and orange 
right.  The only way I know what I have is that I can see the lighter 
colors -- the dark colors are what I have trouble with.  I do have better 
accuracy when I fold over the fabric so there are 2 layers, and then push 
the fabric a little bit into the opening so there is no ambient light 
getting into the picture.  This solves most cases, but still I don't think 
any colorizer is going to give you perfect accuracy.
The best you can do is get one that gives a good ballpark reading and hope 
your clothes match.
Sorry for the news.  It is still better than nothing.

does anyone have the Colbolt color identifier and if so, are you happy  with
it?  It doesn't seem to be very consistence.  It will tell me that cream is
light gray green.  I am disappointed considering the cost -- $154.00.  I
need something to help me identify my yarns.

Thanks

Jewell
