Read colors from camera

[mytechguyri]

So, instead of using the "default" colors... especially with the vast variety of filament colors out there, that just doesn't make sense.... and we know Bambu Studio will happily take hex color codes.... What I've been doing cataloging my filaments, there's an Android app called "Camera RGB Color Picker" where basically point the phone camera at the spool of filament (or pretty much anything really) and the app will tell you the RGB color code for that color... Would be nice to utilize something similar in this app.. just point your camera at the spool of filament, and it determines the RGB color code to use, instead of the "default" color choices.

Good feedback.
For openspool v1 protocol the hex colors must be one of the predefined hex values bambu understands.
For openspool protocol version v1.1 or v2 and other protocols, then passing in a custom hex value is a good idea.

Will incorporate this into future version.

I know that may be what you think, and I know you created the OpenSpool v1 protocol, but you are mistaken. I've been writing NFC tags for my OpenSpool Mini for months, it absolutely works just fine with custom RGB codes. I do it all the time with the NFC Tools app, Try it yourself... write an NFC tag with a random RGB color code, and see if OpenSpool reads it, and the printer accepts it.... I assure you, it does

As proof of concept demonstration, I just coded a tag using NFC Tools with RGB code #D1A0C4, kind of a dusty pink color, and definitely not one of the "predefined" colors as I selected it completely at random. See the video at https://photos.app.goo.gl/zbfdoKmM5FEMNtqR6 working flawlessly.... really should be in the openspool app.
