# Getting index error while trying to extract value from numpy array

Here's the code
Python:
    pim = Image.open('try.png').convert('RGB')
im  = np.array(pim)

def closest(colors,color):
colors = np.array(colors)
color = np.array(color)
distances = np.sqrt(np.sum((colors-color)**2,axis=2))
index_of_smallest =
np.where(distances==np.amin(distances))
smallest_distance = colors[index_of_smallest]
return smallest_distance

closest_color = closest(im,color)
print(closest_color )

A,B,C = closest_color[1] 

Whenever the the values of RGB in array is under 100 the code works fine but the moment any value exceed 100 it shows that indexerror . I have also realized that I get this error with images with multiple colours (pictures taken with camera) and it works fine with images created with softwares with 2 or 3 colours

And here's the error message

Python:
[[224 189 69]]

Traceback (most recent call last):
