I have viewed your colour recognition program but feel it would be a good thing if the results were to be shown either with a RGB Led or a colour scale with a pointer to indicate the chosen colour, I am new to Arduino and looking at figures on the serial monitor does not really help me much, I look forward to your reply.

I'm not sure which sensor you are using but I think you'd have to take the numbers read and create a further area to either output what you want to an led ( this was done on Paul McWorter's youtube series aka toptechboy.com)  or you'd have to create some sort of output to a video monitor or lcd screen stating the color.

I've watched the color sensing video as well and will use the ISL29125 for sure but the level converter is what I'd like to know which one was used and if it is also from sparkfun?  There seems to be nothing other than how to hook it up unless I missed something.

Thank you for your reply tomcat, the colour sensor I am using is a TC523 TC53200 which is listed as for Arduino, I purchased it from AZ Delivery shop through Amazon, I have tried the Paul McWorter sketch, and could get the three colours Red, Green & Blue to work, however, I could not get the other colour mixing to work at all, very frustrating, so I tried the Drone Bot Workshop sketch but could only get read out's on the serial monitor which is not the same as being able to see the results in actual colour display.
