This little piece of technology is making my life easier , !!!!
I have tried this thing 20 different times and it cannot detect the accurate color even from the sample lol I’ve tried every color in the PPG color scheme and every time this thing is 100% wrong!
Good
I’ve had this device for a few years and it seems to have fewer current paint colors in its match library than it used to. I recently researched 7 suggested matches for Sherwin-Williams colors, and only 4 of them are still available.
Every “Sherwin Williams” reading is actually a Benjamin Moore color. I know the brand is Sherwin Williams! But I need the actual name. Ugh so frustrating. Don’t recommend.
This thing works! Comes fully loaded with every paint brand I’ve heard of, and it’s a very functional app. I appreciate the minimal permissions required; this is doing just what it needs to do. Beyond being functional, the app feels clumsy, though. The main drawback, as others have noted, is that you have to be connected to the device to pull up any scanned colors, a major annoyance when you’re at the hardware store to pick up paint. Bring the scanner with you or plan to take screenshots (before you disconnect??), I guess. Developer should really store these colors at least on the phone, if not iCloud so you don’t lose them when you change phones.
I tested the color reader on different Sherwin-Willams paint samples on paper stock. It accurately detected 8 out of 10 colors and close on the others. However, it was consistently off when tried on Samplize samples. Maybe the texture needs to be totally smooth for it be accurate. The other features, such as the ability to set up custom palettes and showing analogous and complementary colors is nice. Being able to paint photos of different types of rooms is helpful, but does not allow for a different color for trim or cabinets.
I finish custom furniture and cabinets for a living; although I wasn’t expecting perfection, I thought this might be useful in my work. Out of about a dozen known color samples, it got 1 exactly right. The others were maybe half in the ballpark and the other half not even close. I enjoy playing around with it, but in the grand scheme of things I wouldn’t consider it a very useful tool.
To test the accuracy I selected the Sherwin Williams Color Snap palette. I scanned a Sherwin Williams paint chip from that palette. The ColorReader result was nowhere near the chip color. Very disappointing. Would not recommend purchasing the ColorReader EZ device.
