<p>If you are using the EV3 Sensors you should use the EV3 Color Sensor which can detect 8 colors (colorless, black, blue, green, yellow, red, white and brown).

If you are using the EV3 Sensors you should use the EV3 Color Sensor which can detect 8 colors (colorless, black, blue, green, yellow, red, white and brown). If you are using the NXT I would recommend the HiTechnic Color Sensor or [HiTechnic Color Sensor V2](http://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=nco1038)... I hope I could help.
