A Color Detector analysing three cubes for a Red color. The Output Signal returns High for the red cube, and low for the green and blue cubes.

Where to find

The Color Detector Physical and Logic components can be found under Standard Components > Color Sensor > Color Detector > Add Physical Component.

It can be accessed from the GameObject menu as well as from the Hierarchy Context menu.

A new GameObject will be created if you do not have a GameObject selected. Otherwise, the Color Detector will be added to the selected GameObject.
