Stray Cat launches Color Decoder
November 25, 2007

Stray Cat Technology LLC, a new software development company in Lawrence, this month launched its first program: Color Decoder, designed for use primarily for people with color blindness.
The program identifies colors and areas of color on a computer screen and is designed to help anyone - but especially those lacking normal color vision - analyze color usage on charts, maps, radar and other images.
Color Decoder watches the color underneath the mouse pointer, displays the color's name near the mouse, optionally speaks its name using speech synthesis, and flashes areas where the same color appears on the screen.
The program, designed for use with Macintosh's new Leopard operating system, was created by veteran Mac developer Marc Epard, who left Netopia in February and started programming Macintoshes in 1984.

I saw him demonstrate it on his laptop a few weeks ago. It is pretty cool, and would be useful even if you aren't color blind.
“now, make it work in the windows environment?”
Perhaps he'd give you access to his code for writing a windows version, for the right price.
