What's New

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Updated for iOS11 and iPhone X

App Description

Open the app, point the camera at an object and tap the screen to hear the name of that object's color.
Or just enable the "Tone From Color" player and the app will play sounds with frequencies corresponding to the color you are pointing at.

Try learning to recognize colors just by hearing the corresponding sound's pitch.

Slide left or right to enable or disable the Tone from Color player.

Slide up or down to enable or disable your device torch light if any.


This app was inspired by Neil Harrison's awesome TED Talk : "I listen to color".
