Your student is correct. "What Colour" can be found as a download from
http://www.btinternet.com/~kaptech/WhatColour.htm It will tell you the RGB
(red, green, blue) and the HTML values of the colour, is free and is a 1mb
file.

Subject: colour blindness
I assessed a student last week who is coloured blind, but is also studying a
time-based art course. He thought he had heard about a software program
that informs you of the colour when the mouse pointer moved over it, by
displaying the colour name in a popup box. I am wondering if anybody had
heard of this software, he thought it was called "What Colour" but was not
sure. If not, does anybody know of anything that might support him with
this problem please?
He currently gets people to describe to him the colours and the mood that
pictures portray and I suggested that he may need to try and used Photoshop
by learning to be aware of the palette numbers and range of numbers for
types of colours, rather than by visually discerning their differences and
the mood that they give. I do not know if it makes any sense but it seemed
plausible advice when I spoke to him.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
