Look inside
In this quick liveProject, you’ll build a custom graphic design tool that can generate a matching RGB color palette for a chosen color. You’ll create a blank canvas using NumPy arrays, display images using OpenCV, track a user’s activity with mouse events and flags, and also handle keyboard input.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
