Description
Ever wondered what the name for that color is? Or wanted a set of colors that could be described as 'dusty'?
Color Namer lets you name colors in the world around you using your camera. You can also explore the whole named colorspace with a color picker, search through color names, and find names for hex values.
The named colors in the app were taken from the results of the XKCD color survey: xkcd.com/color/rgb/. This huge survey asked real people to name swatches of colors. After some data processing by XKCD, the survey resulted in some pretty funny color names, like "ugly purple", "boring green", "vomit yellow" and "barney".

I am red green colorblind and this app helps me identify what color things are. Very useful.

I've used it for 2,3 years now? Pretty good. Does exactly what it advertises, and I like the little colors library, scrolling through it and reading their names. And the palette too, stumbling on a random color and learning its name. It's simple and efficient.

Good app with interesting approach. Results heavily depend on the scenery,
as phone cameras adapt to it (white balance auto). It would be useful to
have at least a "lock white balance" feature, on current ambient light,
pointing to a white or gray surface.

It's good but the camera is really blurry, so it doesn't actually give you the real color
