Color Blind Pal helps people who are color blind see the colors around them. It also lets people with normal vision see what it's like to be color blind. Want to know what color something is? Now you don't need to ask a friend - just open the app to get a descriptive name, like "bold brown". Want to see all colors more clearly? Use the app to shift colors that are hard to distinguish toward colors you can easily distinguish. It'll be as easy for you to spot an orange pumpkin in a green field as it is for everyone else. Or, do you have normal color vision and want to know what someone who's color blind sees? The app can also simulate any type of color blindness. Simply open the app and point your device's camera at what you want to see! If someone gives you a green form and a yellow form and asks you to fill out the green one, use the color inspector to tell which is which. If you're struggling to read a color-coded map, use the color filter to make the colors easy to distinguish. With Color Blind Pal, you can do the following and much more: • Find out exactly what any color is • Read any color-coded map, chart, or graph • Pass a color vision test (it turns out there really are numbers in those dots!) Color Blind Pal is packed with powerful features to make sure you never need anyone else's help seeing colors. Additional features in the color inspector include: • Choose between different types of names for a color, including Common names, Scientific names, and Colloquial names (like "beige") • See the color's hue, saturation, and value, as well as its exact RGB color code • Freeze the camera and inspect different colors across the image • Open any image from your photo library to inspect it • Turn on your flashlight to get clearer color readings Additional features in the color filter include: • Highlight a selected color • Select a color by tapping it on the screen or by dragging the color spectrum slider • Draw a stripe pattern over all reddish colors so you can tell what color everything is without changing the colors • Freeze the camera and experiment with different filters to get an exact sense of what the image really looks like • Hide all the buttons on the screen so your device becomes a portal through which you see the world in richer color Don't be held back by color blindness ever again - get Color Blind Pal today!

Color Blind Pal Review
Loved previous versions helped me a lot with tiny wires and items hard to see. Now with new iPhone the app doesn’t make use of macro camera so it’s VERY hard to use this app now. Would greatly appreciate an update that can use the close up camera too!!! Thank you
Exactly what I needed
There is absolutely nothing complicated about this app, and that is a good thing. Most apps like it I’ve tried are filled with unnecessary fluff. For anyone who has any type of color blindness: get this app. It is a life savior for people like us.
Great app - not perfect yet
I hate to throw around a phrase like “life changing” but I’m tempted. Color Blind Pal is a pal indeed, helping me make the least of my deuteranopia. But I really wish it would do just a couple more things. 1) Front facing camera (so I can use it to help with my makeup and outfits); 2) Remember my settings, because it’s super annoying to have to switch modes and adjust the hue range every single time I open it. I thank the developers for this great app, and hope they keep on developing it!
Awesome app. One addition would be great!
Thank you Vincent for creating this app. I just downloaded, went through the tutorial (perfect, straightforward). The whole app is impressive and well thought out. One thing i thought of to enhance the app and truly make it work for us… how about adding a customization function that utilizes the Ishihara test or something similar,and then let us customize the settings so that it’s close to perfect for that one user? Make sure you copyright it too and maybe OS companies will pay you to use it as part of the accessibility option.
Great start
Let’s start by admitting, there are not a lot of apps that cater toward helping those who are colorblind. This app is a great start and could evolve into something better. I’ve personally found it helpful on a multitude of situations! When you can’t tell green from brown it doesn’t matter the exact color shade. I’ve seen a lot of comments, “that lite pink, magenta, peach, lavender, etc. doesn’t accurately reflect.” Those don’t matter to me. I need to know if it’s green or brown, blue or purple, red or brown, orange or red, pink or grey, etc. No need for extra shades and descriptions - let’s just hit the primary colors. This app has helped me with that! Thank you!
Not even close!
Stupid app had me going out not matching at all…. I could’ve guessed better than what it said
Fixed a bug with the Filter mode on iOS 14.
