A device may receive a target document. The device may segment the target document into multiple segments. The device may determine, for each segment of the multiple segments, a set of color parameters for a corresponding set of pixels included in that segment. The device may determine, for each segment of the multiple segments, an average color parameter for that segment based on the set of color parameters for the corresponding set of pixels included in that segment. The device may generate a target color profile for the target document based on determining the average color parameter for each segment. The device may compare the target color profile and a model color profile associated with classifying the target document. The device may classify the target document based on comparing the target color profile and the model color profile.
