What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
The Colorino is a small handheld device that speaks the color of whatever you hold it against. It announces more than 100 color shades (one listing says over 150), including specific ones like Light Red and Vivid Red. That makes it handy for picking out clothes, sorting laundry, matching colors, and telling colored paper or folders apart. It has just two buttons and three volume settings, and you can plug in earphones for privacy (earphones aren't included). It also works as a light detector. The unit measures about 4-3/8" by 2" and comes with a carrying case. Batteries are listed as included in one place and not included in another, so have two AAA batteries on hand.
