I would like python to do something when a color pops up on screen, how can i do that

Question

What module would there be that allows my program to run IF it detects a certain color

for example, if I want my program to type red when #FF0000 pops up on the screen--how can i achieve that. I know how to make python type, i know my conditional statements... i just need to know how to let python grab color.

Answer 1

I think I know what you are looking for

from PIL import ImageGrab

while True:
    #gets current image
    image = ImageGrab.grab()
    #checks which colour a specific spot of your screen has, by coordinates
    color = image.getpixel((660, 300))
    if color == (255, 0, 0):
        print("the color is red")
    else:
        print("its not red")

Answer 2

Pops up on the screen? The entire screen? A small snippet? A single pixel? It really depends. A basic implementation could be screenshotting on some interval, and parsing each image pixel by pixel to detect the hex code you're looking for.
