As artists, we care about the colors we meet in our daily life. Some are sharply contrasting with their surroundings. Some are subtly conveying the emotions to their audiences. We’d like to use these colors in our projects, but it’s hard to tell the RGB numbers only relying on our eyes. If there is a tool which is the same as the eyedropper tool in Photoshop, we could easily pick colors on the photographs and get the RGB numbers for it instantly. Color Dector is an electronic project which is composed of Arduino and other electronic parts. By using the color sensor, you can get RGB on the screen instantly once you put this installation on any color you want to know. Also, there is a LED inside the installation to copy the color you get.
