// ABOUT
Point your camera at anything. See the color name instantly. Hue identifies colors in real time using your iPhone camera. Point at a shirt, a wall, a wire, a flower — see its name, hex code, and RGB values right on screen. Tap to lock a color and copy the hex code. Hear the color spoken aloud. No subscriptions. No ads. No account. No photos taken. Pay once, use forever. WHY HUE? Most color identifier apps are free — and you pay with your data, your attention (ads), and your patience (poor accuracy). Hue is different: 600 named colors with CIELAB perceptual matching — scientifically accurate color identification, not approximate RGB guessing Zero data collection, zero network calls, zero tracking — your camera feed never leaves your device Clean, focused experience with no ads or upsells Full VoiceOver and accessibility support built in from day one FEATURES Real-time camera color identification — just point and see 600+ named colors including everyday names like "Forest Green," "Coral," "Navy Blue," and "Burgundy" Scientifically accurate matching using Delta E color distance in CIELAB color space Tap to lock any color — freezes identification so you can inspect the result Copy hex code to clipboard with one tap — perfect for designers and developers Hear the color name spoken aloud with built-in text-to-speech Color history — automatically saves the last 100 identified colors with timestamps Built-in flashlight for identifying colors in dark closets, storage rooms, or under desks Show or hide hex codes and RGB values to keep the display clean BUILT FOR People with color vision deficiency (color blindness) — identify reds vs. greens, match clothing, read color-coded labels and charts Designers and artists — sample real-world colors and grab hex codes for your projects Interior designers and decorators — identify and match paint colors, fabrics, and materials on site Electricians and technicians — verify wire colors for safety Developers — grab hex codes from physical objects and printed materials Parents of children with color vision deficiency — help your child learn color names Anyone who has ever pointed at something and asked "what color is that?" ACCESSIBILITY Hue was designed with accessibility as a core requirement, not an afterthought: Full VoiceOver support throughout the entire app Automatic color name announcements with smart debouncing — VoiceOver users hear color names as they scan Large, easy-to-reach tap targets for one-handed use High-contrast UI overlays on the camera view Auto-speak setting available for all users, not just VoiceOver PRIVACY PROMISE Hue uses your camera to read colors — nothing else. No photos are taken, stored, or transmitted. No analytics. No tracking. No network connections at all. Color history is stored locally on your device and never shared. Your privacy is absolute. Note: Color accuracy depends on lighting conditions. For best results, ensure the subject is well-lit. Use the built-in flashlight in dim environments.
