Color sensors function using a special three-color method. They cast light (red, blue, green) on the objects to be tested, calculate the chromaticity co-ordinates from the reflected radiation and compare them with previously stored reference tristimulus values. If the tristimulus values are within the set tolerance range, a switching output is activated.
