One characteristic everything you buy is what color it is. However, this is something the blind need to adapt to recognize. When a blind person desires to know what colour an object is, there are great methods to do so with technology.
One way to know what colorthe object you are holding is using an app called “Seeing AI.” After you’ve opened the app, swipe your finger to the right until you can change what it reads. When you have selected this, swipe up until it says colour. From here, you can hold your phone above the object you want to know the colour of and it will tell you.
Sometimes, it may be desired to not only know the colour but the specific design. To do this task, use an app called “Be My Eyes.” This app will connect you with a sighted volunteer where specific questions can be asked. One example of this could be “What is the design on this shirt?” Rather than: “What is the main colour of this?” Using this app is a great way to get any details you need but skip over undesired information.
With methods like these, you can get items in the colour you prefer. This is a great way to choose things that you desire specificly rather than just the object itself. A method like this contributes to being able to do all tasks independantly despite lack of vision.
