hey..all of you know about the chameleons.yeay they have a special character to change their colour according to with the environments biologically this is known as mimicry. they use this ability to escape from predators and also to capture their prey.
so in this tutorial I am replicate that ability electronically with the help of Arduino and colour sensor please watch the making and working video first
now lets start
How Its Work

with the help of tcs230 sensor we can read the reflected colour values of a surface with that data we can control an RGB led
