Abstract

This project presents a simple application for detecting colors in images using Python. It uses OpenCV for

image processing and Pandas for managing a dataset of color names and RGB values. When a user clicks

on an image, the system detects the color at that pixel and displays its name. This tool can be used in design,

accessibility, and educational contexts.

I. Introduction

Color detection is widely used in image editing, robotics, and assistive tools. This project aims to identify the

name of any color in an image when clicked by the user. It uses basic computer vision techniques without the

need for complex models, making it easy to implement and understand.

II. Tools & Dataset

- Python Libraries: OpenCV, Pandas, NumPy

- Dataset: A CSV file with 865 color names and corresponding RGB/hex values is used for matching.

- Approach: On mouse click, RGB values are fetched from the image and compared to the dataset using

Euclidean distance to find the closest color name.

III. Implementation

1. Load an image using OpenCV.

2. Register a mouse event to detect clicks.

3. Fetch RGB values of the clicked pixel.

4. Compare with dataset and identify the closest color.

5. Display the color name and RGB values on the image.

IV. Results

The application works well for different images and lighting conditions. It accurately displays the color name

based on RGB comparison. Some edge cases may arise where very similar shades are hard to distinguish.

V. Applications

- Helping color-blind users

- Picking design colors

- Learning color codes

- Basic computer vision practice

VI. Conclusion

This project demonstrates how simple Python libraries can be used to create a practical tool for color

detection. It can be extended for more advanced features like live video detection or color categorization.
