Handy app: “Point your camera at anything (a dress, a paint swatch, a flower, your kid’s drawing) and What Color Is This? names the color instantly.” I like the increasingly specific color labels (e.g. blue to light blue to Tiffany blue).

Incredible debate-settling tool! My wife and I cannot agree on whether a certain dog blanket is gray or brown. (It is gray.)
Plus, somehow a lot of the food I cook turns out beige — this will give me a broader vocabulary to mask the general blandless of flavors. (My wife is a stellar cook but is wrong about the dog blanket.)
I'm partially colorblind, and this could be a game changer
Over 10 years later we can finally put to rest the "white and gold" or "black and blue" dress debate!
