“The Color Terminal can be used to pick color from physical things by scanning its surface with Seeed Wio Terminal and TCS34725.
A color picker (also color chooser or color tool) is a graphical user interface widget, usually found within graphics software or online, used to select colors and sometimes to create color schemes.
Traditional color picking software can’t take color from a physical surface, that’s where the color terminal comes to play. It’s a device that can take color and provide color code in Hex and RGB values.
The Color terminal powered by SeeedStudio Wio Terminal and Adafruit RGB Color sensor .

Components Required
Wio Terminal: Wio Terminal based on ATSAMD51-based microcontroller with wireless connectivity supported by Realtek RTL8720DN and is equipped with a 2.4” LCD Screen, onboard IMU(LIS3DHTR), Microphone, Buzzer, microSD card slot, Light sensor, and Infrared Emitter(IR 940nm). Realtek RTL8720DN chip supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi providing the backbone for IoT projects.
TCS34725 RGB Color Sensor: The TCS34725, which has RGB and Clear light sensing elements. An IR blocking filter, integrated on-chip and localized to the color sensing photodiodes, minimizes the IR spectral component of the incoming light and allows color measurements to be made accurately. The filter means you’ll get much truer color than most sensors since humans don’t see IR. The sensor also has an incredible 3, 800, 000:1 dynamic range with adjustable integration time and gain so it is suited for use behind darkened glass.”
