📌 Features

• Detects specific colors in images or webcam video
• Uses HSV color space for accurate detection
• Real-time color tracking
• Adjustable color ranges
• Simple and beginner-friendly implementation

---

🧠 How It Works

1. Captures image or video frames
2. Converts frames from HSV color space
3. Applies color masking
4. Highlights detected colors on screen

This approach is commonly used in:

• Object tracking
• Image segmentation
• Robotics vision systems

🛠 Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV
• NumPy

Install dependencies

pip install opencv-python numpy

---

🚀 Quick Start

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/EpitomeZied/Python-color-detection.git
cd Python-color-detection

Run the script

python color_detection.py

(Replace color_detection.py with your actual script name if different)

---

🎮 Example Output

• Original video feed
• Mask showing detected color
• Final output highlighting detected regions

Detecting color...
Color detected successfully!
