This is cool, but ultimately worthless- even detrimental to security. The only problem this could possibly solve is that user has to wait for a reload before trying their password again.
For an attacker, this becomes a lot easier break into. Let's suppose the attacker managed to get the exact values of the RGB (perhaps screen shared). He could run a dictionary attack or brute force on the algorithm and wait until he gets a match. This alleviates an attacker from two previous requirements.
1. A salt if all they had was a hash.
2. Hitting a server to check if the password is valid (thereby passing any potential lockouts).
