Please add (text?) cues to Rainbow Puzzle

Maybe the people who are saying "no" to the OP should change their monitor settings so that they are playing in B&W for a few hours.

(I realize color-blindness doesn't mean seeing in B&W, just looking for a quick way to experience something similar).

If it's any help to anyone, I've once made a similar AHK script for LOTRO.
It displays the color under mouse pointer in a tooltip near the pointer.
After seeing this thread, I've adapted it, so that it now displays percent of individual colors (%R, %G, %B). It's not as good as other similar programs mostly because it doesn't have any color name mappings, but it does work in full-screen mode (some experience flickering).

To use it, just run it along DDO and press shift+printscreen to activate it and shift+printscreen again to deactivate it.
Mind you, it's set to only work in DDO/LOTRO

You can download a compiled script - exe file, or if you don't trust me (and why should you, I'm a "guy" on the "internet"), you can download script or source, install autohotkey and run it/compile it for yourself (it's really easy).

Download link to a stand-alone exe here
Download link to the AHK script file here

source code here(so you can be sure I do not intend to grab your megahurtzs):

#IfWinActive ahk_class Turbine Device Class
BeActive := FALSE
CoordMode Pixel, Screen
CoordMode Mouse, Screen

+PrintScreen::
BeActive := !(BeActive && TRUE)
if(BeActive) {
	SetTimer, WatchCursor, 50
} else {
	SetTimer, WatchCursor, off
	ToolTip
}
return

WatchCursor:
MouseGetPos X, Y
PixelGetColor Color, %X%, %Y%, RGB

Blue := Color & 0x0000ff
Color := Color/256
Green := Color & 0x0000ff
Color := Color/256
Red:= Color & 0x0000ff

Redp := Round(Red/255*100)
Greenp := Round(Green/255*100)
Bluep := Round(Blue/255*100)
ToolTip, R=%Redp% G=%Greenp% B=%Bluep%

nice little script, but can't make shift+printscreen enable/disable it. also doesn't overlay in fullscreen mode, only in windowed mode.
