This project is a fun beginner-friendly computer vision tool that detects the dominant color of objects you hold in front of your webcam. Instead of showing raw RGB values, it gives the actual color name (like red, blue, black, or pink). If nothing is detected, it smartly responds with “You are not holding anything.” Each detection is also logged into a color_report.txt file with timestamps.
- Real-time webcam-based color detection
- Converts RGB values into human-readable color names
- Ignores background, focusing only on the object you hold
- Generates a timestamped report of detections
- Beginner-friendly and easy to run
