@facecolors 1

Face and hair color for each tracked face. Output on the fifth outlet. @faces must be enabled for this face tracking feature to function. It also requires a captured face model.

Microsoft’s Kinect v2 SDK used by dp.kinect2 derives the face and hair color by building a face 3D model and distinguishing the colors on that model. Results are affected by environment conditions, distance from the sensor, and often not high-quality.
