This paper presents an approach to determining the colours of specks in an image of a pulp being recycled. The task is solved through colour classification by an artificial neural network. The network is trained using fuzzy possibilistic target values. The number of colour classes found in the images is determined through the self-organising process in the two-dimensional self-organising map. The experiments performed have shown that the colour classification results correspond well with human perception of the colours of the specks.
