Main Title: Color Recognition
Project: Color recognition from a unique color picture.
Developer: Md. Redwanur Rahman
Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Date: 5 November, 2007
I am here to share idea with other.

This snippet of code will change the background color of a picture box to reflect the value of the Red, Green and Blue scroll bars and indicated what the color it is: A shade of blue, purple, orange etc.

This code is fairly accurate but right now isn’t able to distinguish brown/tan colors. This code is still in its infancy.
