A color identifying display system having a lighting surface (111, 211, 501, 611) having an alterable apparent surface color, a color capture device (105, 205, 317, 507, 603) to capture a color of an object (109, 203, 305, 503) placed within a detection area, and a processor (113). The lighting surface (111, 211, 501, 611) and the color capture device (105, 205, 317, 507, 603) are coupled to the processor (113). The processor (113) analyzes the captured color to determine a prominent color of the object (109, 203, 305, 503) and to control a color of the lighting surface (111, 211, 501, 611) based on the determined prominent color. The color of the lighting surface (111, 211, 501, 611) may be adjusted to match the prominent color, complement the prominent color, or be analogous to the prominent color.
