ColorBlindClick Extension

ColorBlindClick is an assistant for ColorBlind people.
Against Daltonism, this chrome extension is designed by colorblind developers to help all colorblind people to distinguish colors.
It's very simple to use, just point an object and click to get the NAME of the color,, not the color code but the color name in several languages (browser language).
ColorBlindClick allows users to capture the color of a pixel, takes the color code and using an algorithm selects the most similar color by comparing it with those in the database and after it shows the color name result indicating the percentage of similarity.
ColorBlindClick is available also as APP for smartphone Android.
