Other options?

I've used the Wardley Master kit, currently have the API master kit, and have used the dip strips. What other options are out there for the colorblind people like me. I like the API the best because of their reputation and their thoroughness in testing, but I'll be darned if I can tell the difference between 6.8 - 7.0 - 7.2 without calling SWMBO to id the color match for me. I know the dip strips are less than perfect for quality of test, but at least I could tell the difference in the colors in the neutral range. Whatayagot?

If you're willing to invest a bit more money, there are digital pH readers out there. They cost around £20 here, about the cost of 2 boxes of '5 in 1' test strips.

If you were to get digital ones for all tests though, you may be looking at a small fortune
It may be cheaper to just ask someone else to read the strips for you.
