using imshow how to display the color image

Input_Im=imread('C:\Users\Documents\canvas001-inca-100dpi-00.bmp'); imshow(input_Im(1:128,1:128));

when i use this code,it is displaying the image in gray scale. But the input image is a color image. How to get the color image when the input image is segmented

Assuming the image is truly a colour image and not an indexed image:

imshow(input_Im(1:128, 1:128, :));

If you don't say you want all three colour planes (the : in the 3rd dimension) you only get the 1st one.

This might also be interesting to see what happens if you leave off a dimension when indexing arrays. http://blogs.mathworks.com/steve/2011/03/22/too-much-information-about-the-size-function/
