Reply To: Can the color sensor detect orange?

Hi Auctor,

You need to compile firmware lib from the master branch. Because I added this functionality a week ago.
Then this should work:

            EV3ColorSensor colorSensor = new EV3ColorSensor(SensorPort.In2);
            RGBColor rgbColor = colorSensor.ReadRGB();
            Color color = Color.FromArgb(rgbColor.Red, rgbColor.Green, rgbColor.Blue);
            var hue = (int) color.GetHue();
            var bright = (int) (color.GetBrightness()*100);

Then look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue
