Hi Jackie -

I wonder what these to pieces of kit would cost together? Ultimately, I'm hoping there will be an app for mobiles that will do a much better job than the Colorino, but might be a bit down the line yet -

Hi Andy

My understanding is that the Fame Colour Detector which can be attached to
the Milestone 312 Pro will differentiate between patterns and two-tone
colours on a garment.  I'd love to try one out as these colour gadgets
fascinate me, or perhaps I should say that colour still does after all these
years of not seeing it.


Kind Regards,

Well, it is definitely better than the Cobalt colour detector in accuracy
and range of identifiable colours.

It does struggle in my experience with colours that are close to each other,
such as dark navy, and black, seeing the former also as black.

It's find for strong basic colour identification, but will produce
unreliable results with certain colours within a range of colour. It's great
with socks, if they have a pattern, it will quite often say for example,
grey black because it can identify that it's not one or the other, but isn't
sure which is the strongest shade.

Something's it will get completely wrong, and it might report white as grey
or beige as yellow.

So in conclusion, it is definitely a handy tool to have, for even if it
doesn't report everything accurately, you can learn when it says a shirt is
such and such a colour, it is actually whatever, I have to pairs of
identical trousers for example, and it correctly sees one pair as dark blue,
and although it says the other pair which are stone coloured is brown, I
know from that which pair is which.

HTH -

Hi

I am considering getting the colourino, how accurate is it?
Can it differentiate between patterns on socks for example?

Regards

Adrien
