Hi Linda I've tried it on a jumper of mine which has little sections of pink, purple and cream, and it is very good at detecting a change in colour. I also have two jumpers which are exactly the same, but one is blue and the other a kind of lavender colour. The colorino is quite good at differentiating these colours, but the Colortest 2000 is even better, and Fame is spot on. I realise Fame is an expensive option given you need the Milestone, but if you have this player, Fame is an excellent addition.

Hi Jackie have you tried it on anything that has stripes of multiple colours? I have the cobolt talking colour identifyer which is good enough on plain colours but really any good on stripes.
