How accurate is the Detect Colors feature?

Color detection depends on the environment. It is best to try to recognise colors in a well-lit room, otherwise, the colors may vary. This may also apply if the environment is too bright and may make the colors appear brighter than they are. Other factors that influence color recognition may be patterns, shadows or other factors. For best results, try to take a photo of the item in natural light and hold it against a white wall or ceiling to avoid picking up other colours in the background.
