Abstract
A system () and method () for determining whether a sample object () has a color that is within a predetermined range is provided. The system () includes a light source () capable of projecting lights having different light wavelength spectrum upon the sample object (). A controller () causes the light source () to project a first light wavelength spectrum upon the sample object (), then another, then another, and so forth. While each light is projecting upon the object, a monochromatic image capture device () captures an image having luminous intensity information. The luminous intensity information, or a subset thereof selected by an image selection tool () is then compared to the statistical range, which is derived from a plurality of images taken of a reference object ().
