Hi Carol
It looks to me like you can't change the battery yourself
which is a bit of a pain. I wish it had cells you could
change like the Colorino does, but I can't remove the
back to find out. I must admit I've had the unit three
years or so and have only needed to charge it once!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

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.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie and all
Jackie, is the Colortest more expensive than the
colorino? 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? -
