To support color blindness, there have been attempts known as Color Universal Design. However, there are problems during daily living, especially from the reason of fashion; i.e. selecting dresses. Sometimes, color blind argues the difficulty to match the socks from different colors [1].To solve this matching-pair-of-socks problem, we've developed smart-phone based supports. One of them is reported. The application is using camera on the smart-phone and having functions follows;1) Taking a picture and showing it.2) User touches the picture to designate the color to be identified.3) Pixels with similar colors turn to black.Its preliminary evaluation was done by using optically functional spectral filters for simulation of dichromats (VariantorTM, Itoh Optical Industrial Co., Ltd.). Five subjects wared Variantor glasses and evaluated the application in matching several pairs of socks with different colors.[1] Shared Stories in Frequently Asked Questions of Colorblind Home Page, http://colorvisiontesting.com/color7.htm
