This battery-operated colour detector is easy to use and will announce basic colours in a clear male English voice.
The unit detects 12 basic colours – white grey black purple blue green yellow orange red pink brown and olive green – and will also indicate colour intensity: light dark very light and very dark. It may indicate that an item is “very light blue” or “dark brown”.
The detector can see colours in various combinations and shades. Low colour saturation is indicated by the word ‘grey’.
When in use the detector will repeat the colour continuously so it is recommended that you wait for the second reading after positioning the nozzle.
To get the best result on clothing make sure you gather material together to make a more solid colour to read.
The unit also works as a light detector. If it is held away from a surface it will beep if it detects daylight or artificial light.
A headphone jack can be found at the base of the unit (headphones included).
