I really liked the landing page, especially the outline of the iPhone with an example of the app running inside of it.
What a great idea. I am renovating my house right now and I have to buy some paint for partially painting a facade. I could use such an app to be able to choose the paint color, in the store, as close as possible to the original one. Do you know of any such app for Android?
Beware the effects of incident lighting on colour perception. As a human, you do a lot of processing you're not even aware of to normalise the colours you perceive. Cameras cannot do this (without calibration), so if the incandescent/flourescent/daylight/sunlight mix and intensity is different in the store to your house, you could end up with a very different shade.
You need data on the variation of colour, intensity and reflectance as a function of viewing and illumination angles. Not something a mobile device can do.
The device described in this paper can: (note: I am not affiliated; just out of interest)

Hi, HN! Really excited to share my little project here. Being a colorblind designer, it was often hard for me to figure the color names and decide which colors to use. Hence, I decided to make this app. Cone lets you pick colors in real time using the phone's camera. It lets you build color palettes while on the run, capturing and recording color for later comment/discussion, sending the colors to someone else quickl…
I'm color bind too. I'm actually jealous I didn't think of this. I have been working in Krita lately, and I'm guessing on colors. Krita will give hexadecimal # of a particuliar color, but not a worded description of the color. This has so many potential uses--fashion websites for one. I can't go by the color on websites for the clothing; I need to look at the details for the written color. I usually just buy black, a…

Being color blind too (well, anomalous trichromat) I sometimes take pictures of things I want to buy/examine and analyze the colors at home: could you make a Force Touch option to load a picture from the camera roll instead of using the camera? (I suggest force touch because I don't want to interfere with the current simple interface/starting right away)
Either way, thanks, this will be used a lot

FWIW, I don't know if I'm a tetrachromat or not, but I do have a very good colour detecting ability.
