So I want to create a color identifier that that adjust to the lighting in the room. I'm not very techy but does anyone have any ideas?

Wow I'd never heard of that. Nice gismo. So could you not use it with a torch? Torches have colour temperatures don't they, so it'd have to be calibrated. Does the phone app not work with the phones torch?

Torch? Light a flashlight? No it doesn't work in conjunction with the phone flashlight. And as I say the problem is more about consistent results, not lighting. Something cherry red should stay cherry red, not turn hot pink the next time I use me identifier.

Lighting would provide a consistent hue and thus consistent colour readings.

Better if you could isolate the light source to be only your torch.

Yeah... Don't think that'll work so well for me. Don't you need sight for those?

I'd offer to help, but I'm not frightfully tech-savvy. When someone told me I could listen to the radio via my computer, I spent an hour looking for that wee dial that tunes in the stations.
