Sending RGB values from I2C 16-BIT Color Level Sensor RGBC to Processing

I am able to output 15 different RBG values (for 5 colors) on my serial monitor on Arduino. I am using Processing to have it read in the string of RGB values as an array from Arduino, in order to use those RGB values to show the color that the color sensor picked up.

I see the values on Arduino but I cannot get Processing to read in these values as a string. I am not 100% sure if Arduino can read in these RBG values as an array but I am not sure how to figure that out. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get these values from Arduino to Processing, then please let me know!

Attached below is a screenshot of my Processing code that is suppose to read in a string of values.

Please post your code in-line and not as an attached picture. Read How to use this forum - please read. - Installation & Troubleshooting - Arduino Forum completely and pay special attention to point #7.

Please post the code for both the Arduino (so we know how you're sending) and Processing.

I have no experience with Processing so probably can help further.

DO NOT CROSS POST !
DO NOT HIJACK !

Could you take a few moments to READ THIS.
It will help you get the best out of the forum.

I am sorry I am new to this, thanks for sharing the link!
