...
The Contrast Sensor will match a detected color to its Base Color and its Background Color and to give an output depending on which of the two colors matches most more with the detected color.
...
A Contrast Sensor analysing three cubes for a Base color and a Background color. The Output Signal returns High for the red cube since it corresponds to the Base color, and low for the green and blue cubes since they correspond more to the Background color.
...
Where to find
