            Abstract : 
In this research paper we have introduced a new security system where user will set the password based on any colors and the system will be unlocked only with colors. Each color is a combination of Red, Green & Blue color. Any given color by the user consists of 16 bits Red, 16 bits green & 16 bit Blue color. So the total depth of any given color is 48 bits. The user can choose any random 4 to 6 colors as his/her password. Then the user will provide these passwords through RGB LEDs to the system. If the password matches, the system will be unlocked. For wrong password, alarm will be turned on. It´s quite a bit impossible for the hacker/fraud to hack/break the system password as the value of any color lies between 0 to 2̂∧48(16 bits Red +16 bits Green+16 bits Blue). This security system can be used to prevent any unauthorized access to start/stop a computer or any machine.
