My friend and esteemed colleague just informed me of this ridiculous contraption. First of all, why would you spend $229 on said machine when there are apps available for free? One could be tempted however because it does resemble the sexy Rhinestone Stud Setter, that MUST HAVE invention of the seventies.BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! If you order in the next five minutes, it will take out your trash, iron your shirts, walk your dog and file your nails! But alas... it really won't help you find the right color.
My friends...Hire a professional color consultant. Someone who inherently knows light, understands product and can inject some artistry into the process.

Nicely put.
(I didn't know you wrote informercials, eb!)
Hilarious, Elizabeth!
Ah, i have fond memories of the bedazzler....
I have one of those things. A paint company that I shall not name gave me one. I thought it was called a portable spectrophotometer? Anyhoo, mine only has the one brand's palette loaded.
I have used it - trouble is if you take three readings, you get three different color suggestions. If you take six readings, it is probable that you'll get six different color readings, etc.
So, yeah, there were readings, data to start off with but if you aren't experienced with the brand and the palette, then the data doesn't mean anything. From among the three options the device spit out, I still had to pick one.
As far as the coordinating feature, there's just no way.
Nice to see you ladies show up in my chambers this morning. Thank you for your comments.
Hey, Lori, while I have you on the line... next week I'm an exterior job in which the client would like to stain the brick. Do you have experience with this and can you lead me to any resources so I can bone up?
As always...thanks!!
You could "bedazzle" the color out of that mouse trap in a heartbeat! So silly!!!
But wait...what about the Ginsu Knives?!? If it comes with those....that's a whole nother story! ;)
I totally agree that a decorator or color consultant should be hired! That being said, my husband bought me one for Christmas this year, and I really like it! It helps me identify colors already on the wall, and mine has most well-known brands' palettes. I like to refer to it as my "Color Analyzer 2000." It looks pretty cheesy, but my clients are impressed when I can match their wall color in 10 seconds!
Oh Kristie, he was just bribing you so won't paint your wood trim. :-)
Thank you for your comment. I'll keep an open mind about this gadget.
I really enjoyed the humor you injected as you made your case as guest blogger over at Hue.
