Python PIL | ImageColor.getcolor() Method

PIL is the Python Imaging Library which provides the python interpreter with image editing capabilities. The ImageColor module contains color tables and converters from CSS3-style color specifiers to RGB tuples. This module is used by PIL.Image.Image.new() and the ImageDraw module, among others.
ImageColor.getcolor() Same as getrgb(), but converts the RGB value to a grayscale value if the mode is not color or a palette image. If the string cannot be parsed, this function raises a ValueError exception.

Syntax: PIL.ImageColor.getcolor(color, mode)
Parameters:
color – A color string 
Returns: (graylevel [, alpha]) or (red, green, blue[, alpha])

print(im1)

Output:
