My dad is a retired chemist. He said
the test is more accurate when done by machine (still uses color for analysis, but it’s done using a spectrophotometer which doesn’t rely on eyesight),..so drops or paper still rely on looking at a color.
Throw the strips out. They are not better than nothing, they are giving you an excuse to put-off buying a test kit that will help. I'm sorry but you dad is wrong here, the strips are innacurate and unreliable whether read by eyes or machine. FWIW you can tell your dad that (with the exception of pH) the tests in the Taylor K-2006 are not color matching, they are titration tests and the results are quite clear.
