How to detect two different colors using `cv2.inRange` in Python-OpenCV?

As you get two masks of colors, then use cv2.bitwise_or to get the final mask.

import cv2

## Read
img = cv2.imread("sunflower.jpg")

## convert to hsv
hsv = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)

## mask of green (36,0,0) ~ (70, 255,255)
mask1 = cv2.inRange(hsv, (36, 0, 0), (70, 255,255))

## mask o yellow (15,0,0) ~ (36, 255, 255)
mask2 = cv2.inRange(hsv, (15,0,0), (36, 255, 255))

## final mask and masked
mask = cv2.bitwise_or(mask1, mask2)
target = cv2.bitwise_and(img,img, mask=mask)

cv2.imwrite("target.png", target)
