Hi Linda

I've tried it on a jumper of mine which has little sections of pink, purple
and cream, and it is very good at detecting a change in colour.  I also have
two jumpers which are exactly the same, but one is blue and the other a kind
of lavender colour.  The colorino is quite good at differentiating these
colours, but the Colortest 2000 is even better, and Fame is spot on.  I
realise Fame is an expensive option given you need the Milestone, but if you
have this player, Fame is an excellent addition.


Kind Regards,

Hi Jackie

have you tried it on anything that has stripes of multiple colours?  I have
the cobolt talking colour identifyer which is good enough on plain colours
but really any good on stripes.
