Discover the Color Name from an RGB Value in Python Using OpenCV and Web Colors

When working with images in Python, particularly in computer vision projects, you might find yourself needing to identify the color of specific pixels. For instance, how do you convert the RGB value of a pixel extracted from an image into a human-readable color name? This guide will guide you through the process, including the tools and techniques you'll need to achieve this.

Understanding the Problem

Consider the following scenario: You have an image and you wish to find out the color name of a pixel located at coordinates (100, 50). Using OpenCV, you can easily extract the RGB values of that pixel. Let’s take a look at the initial script one might use:

In the example above, we retrieve the RGB values for a pixel from an image. The challenge arises when you want to convert those RGB values into something meaningful, namely, the actual color name associated with the pixel.

Solution Overview

To solve this problem, we can leverage the webcolors library, which provides tools for color name identification based on RGB values, among other functionalities.

Step 1: Install webcolors Library

Before we start, make sure you have the webcolors library installed. You can do this easily using pip:

Step 2: Implement the Color Detection Function

We'll create a function that computes the closest color name by comparing the RGB values to a predefined list of color names. The following code accomplishes this:

Step 3: Running the Function to Get the Color Name

Now that we have our functions, we can request the color name by passing in the RGB value obtained from the image:

Explanation of the Code

closest_colour(requested_colour): This function calculates which CSS3 color name is closest to a given RGB color by using the Euclidean distance formula.

get_colour_name(requested_colour): This function tries to find an exact color name using the webcolors.rgb_to_name method. If it's not found, it falls back to the nearest color name using closest_colour.

RGB Value: You can modify the requested_colour tuple with the RGB value you received from your image.

Conclusion

With the method outlined above, you've learned how to convert an RGB value from an image into its closest color name, enhancing your image processing tasks with valuable contextual information. To make the most of computer vision projects, consider exploring beyond basic extraction and use libraries like webcolors to make sense of the data you capture.
