Jackie does the latest ColorTest take replacement batteries, so that it doesn't have to be shipped back for a battery change?

Hi Andy Well I was fortunate in that someone gave me a Colortest 2000, which is how I come to own one in addition to the Colorino. I find the Colortest 2000 quite good on light colours, and it is good at telling me which is the lavender or light blue of the two jumpers I referred to in an earlier message. It tells you if something is white too rather than grey or beige that Colorino often says. The Cobolt colour detector isn't that great. The Colorino is a lovely little detector and the one I would take with me if I went away and needed assistance with colours. But the Colortest also gives you saturation info. For example, I am wearing a purple top today, and the Colortest just announced it is pale purple, followed by misty lilac blue. I presume this latter info is the saturation level. It has other stuff on it that I've never played with, but the trouble is that it is more expensive, though I don't know by how much. The voice on the Colortest 2000 is the same as the voice on the Colorino, and I like it. I love colour detectors, they fascinate me for some reason. I hope that gives you some idea.

I find the latter quite useful, but it can be very far out with some of it's results. For example, it really struggles to see white shirts as white, often thinking they are light gray or green! And it often can't tell navy from black. Is the Colortest more accurate than the Colorino would you say? - Andy ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
