Color Capture app good for
Youve got to try this app. For real, supper cool and amazing for anyone whos ever wondered about what color something is.
Thanks Benjamin Moore. Not only do you have the finest paint ever made, but the bling to go with it. A solid 5 for sure.
Theyre just not spending the time to figure out the app. After you take a photo an choose to use it, you have to touch the area of the photo you want. If you dont touch the photo it will stick to the default colors in the center and never change regardless of how many pictures you take. In the few pictures Ive taken this has really helped.
The app is good. Its just specific to painting. Whch it should be.
Quite cool. Captured colors arent perfect but pictures never render colors 100% accurately anyway. Really clever program that does provide good suggestions of possible color families and pallettes you can try based on something youve seen and know you like.
Works pretty well. Helpful for finding the colour range of something you see.
Store locator works fine- found the dealer just up the street here in Vancouver.
Color matches look very good, as long as youre photographing in decent light.
I like the harmony suggestions.
Fun.
I cant get over the number of people who review things when they dont use it properly. This app does exactly what it says it does. I took a picture of my multi coloured sofa in low lighting, touched various areas of it and got an array of 7 colour matches for each different colour in the picture.its brilliant. A pox on dumbasses who cant follow simple instructions.
Some bad moments
Took numerous colour photos and the app matched everything to the same set of grey shades. Yes the photos were colour.
This is more of a toy for kids and idiots. The app can even read a sample of its own Ben Moore own paint samples it comes up with random color names. If you want to f- up your house this app will get the job done. Stay away its an marketing tool own.
Downloaded from the Canadian iTunes store, the app does not have any Canadian Benjamin Moore store locations - I live in Toronto, the closest store it finds is in New York state.
You cannot input or search a colour by name or number which is completely useless if you want to create a list of paint colours youve already used in your house.
Great paint, lousy app.
I am a Benjamin Moore dealer north of Toronto and after trying this app I was very disappointed. It is extremely innacurate, even using it on one of BMs own color cards. Iv had a few customers complain that we mixed a colour wrong, however it was the customers fault for using a color they choose from this app.
You just cant get an accurate color reading from a cell phone camera, period.
OK in full sunlight applications, but inside under normal lighting conditions it seems to default to black or grey for dark colours.
The idea is great... But the missing features are what kill the app
Canadian stores???
I will play with this app in my paint store some more, but without an update there isnt much to do with this!!!
