Hi
I may not have the thread of this conversation correct, but there is a small handheld device called a TColour available from www.ic-online.co.uk which when you place the light sensor over an object the colour is spoken.

Dear Colleagues:
I got an answer with an resaearch paper.
In Japan at least, the devices are commercially available with
advanced features. If you would like to receive the copy of the
paper, please let me know. The system does not allow me to attach the
paper in pdf.
