General info

Color detection is the process of identifying the name of any color. Color detection is important in identifying objects. Various image editing and drawing apps also use it as a tool.

In this project, I built an application which accepts an image path and automatically get the name of the colors in the image by double-clicking on them. The application has a data file that contains the color name and its values, it then calculate the distance from each color and find the shortest one.
