After get RGB values from a pixel, hoe could I write its color name?

[caplled]

Team,

I'm quite new to LabVIEW and I`m working on a application using USB webcam to capture the color of object.

So far it is completed but now I need to write the name of the color on the screen.

Please, somebody could help to identify if IMAQ or Labview have that feature?

To help with undestanding:

Below you can see the example.

R = 236

G = 0

B = 116

And the color name is pink.

But the problem is how to get the name using some feature available. 

 

Thank you.

Regards,

There is no such function, but you could create one fairly easily.

I would divide each color component by 64 and round to get a 2 bit value for each color.  Combining these (multiply/shift and add) would give you a 6 bit integer, which would give you 64 color combinations.  Create an array of 64 strings with the names of the colors and index out the correct name.  You would have to go through manually the first time and assign a name to each color, but that wouldn't be too bad.

I never created the VI, but you should be able to quite easily.  Just follow the directions in my earlier post.
