The light sensor doesn't actually "see" colors, it only distiguishes between
dark and light. Therefore I have found that using different grey scales is a
good way to make distinguishable "colors". Different grey scales can be made
by printing them onto paper, and then wrapping the paper around the objects.
I have been able to distinguish between 5 different grey scales, from white
to black, this way, but it could be expanded to more, though with a higher
probability of error.
Note: This was programmed with Lejos. I don't know if it is possible with the
Robotics Invention System.

| Can the light sensor accurately distinguish between THREE colors? All the designs I've seen work with two; e.g. a brick sorter, green & red. And if so, what colors are recommended: Red, Green, Blue? Black, White, Grey? Thanks. (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
