Nix Color Sensor by Matthew Sheridan — Kickstarter

Nix Color Sensor by Matthew Sheridan — Kickstarter:

Nix is a patent pending device that allows anyone to become a color expert. Just grab Nix from your pocket, purse, or bag, touch it to an object and magically watch the exact color appear on your iPhone, Android, PC, or Mac. Once scanned, you can keep palettes of your favorite colors, match the color to real life pigments, and even receive directions to the nearest store where you can purchase the color.

This looks like a cool project. And it’s open source! I wonder if it is accurate enough for car paint etc?
