Clothes and Coordination (self.Blind)
submitted by Jcb2016
Hello .. I've had a lingering question
Whenever i see Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles on TV or anyone that's blind i always wonder how do they stay coordinated with there clothes .. Everyone seems to match .. How does this happen ?

Marking sets of clothes that go together in a particular way. Not buying things that will clash terribly with all the other clothes you own. Using colour identification apps on a phone to identify the colour of clothes. Most people do some or all of these things, to differing levels, depending on how concerned they are with fashion.

That's amazing .. I would never dream or think of using different things to do something .. Amazing 😉

Honestly though, I expect super famous people like Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles have agents/managers/producers/directors/make-up people who tell them exactly what clothes to wear at any given time, just like sighted celebs who gain those levels of fame do. I really doubt Stevie Wonder has to go through all the hassle of attaching Braille labels to his clothes. LOL.

So I'm color blind and very regularly have difficulties discerning what color my shirts are. There are apps for that you say? Any chance you could share some iOS examples?

Try:
http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/aipoly-vision
You don't need the object identification feature, but the app has a tab that just speaks the colour of whatever the camera is pointed at.
