[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Color identifier accuracy

[Dixie]

When I had a rehab councelor coming to my house after I lost my sight she
brought her favorite new toy from Convention a color identifier.  I pulled a
green pepper out of the refrigerator and she had the identifier tell us what
color it was...  "black" it said.  So I asked my daughter if it was a bright
green or a deep dark green on this pepper, she said it was a bright green.
I decided there and then the item was not worth purchasing as it wasn't
accurate.

I  barrowed a Color Detector from a friend at Convention and we were foiling
around with it and it said that my Black Lab Guide Dog was Green. We tried
it several times and each time it said that he was Green. We laughed so
much.  That was over 23 years ago. 
Heppy Knitting!

detector said I had green hair (pigments) and orange skin.  My daughters
said  this was proof that I really was from  Mars.  Yes, a better color
identifier would be great.
I agree with Shelley about a machine  that would give details about a skein
of yarn.

Denice has one that is only 2 rows!
That is another reason why I like interchangeable needles.  You can count
the slots and the needles fit snugly in their slots!
Now wouldn't it be great if we had a bead sourter!
Put the bead in a bowl and it could tell you the correct color, not just
blue, but the shade.
Remember those banks that could sourt your coins!
How about a better color identifier!
Our new one told me my dark blue pants were black and when I sat in the sun,
I could tell they were blue!
