I’d like to display the color of the color wheel for position control on Shuffleboard, is there a documented way to set the RGB properties of a widget?

Shuffleboard Color Block For Color Sensor

Team 3673 Cyborg Seagulls found a way to display on shuffleboard a color block, if the color sensor detects a color.

Thanks all, I got the Color being put to just one widget:

Here’s a simplified version of the code: Gist

Thanks @Amicus for the hint and @Peter_Johnson for the recommendation to use the robot sim.
