COLOR is color recognition unit integrated with TCS3472 chipset. As the name says, COLOR is able to detect color value and return RGB data as response.
Identify color principle: The TCS3472 chipset integrated with 3 x 4 array of filtered photodiodes and a 16 bit analog-to-digital embedded converters. Out of the 12 photodiodes, 3 have red filters, 3 have green filters, 3 have blue filters and 3 have no filter (clear), which gives a total range of RGBA (RGB + Transparency)
