Didn't want to waste my money on this, but judging from the fact that this app doesn't use magic(and screen caps), I can tell you that it doesn't work.
You can separate colors on a spectrum all you want... it doesn't make a bit of difference.
Now... if you had it display the name of the color... great. That would be a huge asset. Not an expensive chore that just confuses me more.

Are you suggested gathering information about users and providing ads based upon it?

The significant difference seems to be that Groupon takes a 24 hour "risk" and pushes content to its users via email. If a platform like AdWords offered free advertising that delivered only the most relevant advertising to users, the list of companies hoping to have their ad seen would be enormous.
It is interesting to consider whether expertly targeted ads would see as many click throughs as the ads companies pay to have us see now.
