[Artists-Making-Art] Quilting and the Color Wheel

[Ann Cunningham]

Hello Ashleigh,
So nice to have you on our list! I have an app on my iPhone called color assist
That will  call out colors in R G B color percentages and HSL  colors mix  too 
It will also give a name to the color. Very basic like light blue, dark tan. That kind of thing. 
I use it visually but I wonder with some practice  and voice over if you could make it work for you? 
I know aph has a color detector that seems easy to use. 
Have you tried some of those things already? What kind of problems were you running into? 
Ann
