Cannot find elements when scraping website with python and selenium

Question

I would like to map color HSB values to English color names and Hue names. One resource I have found is https://www.color-blindness.com/color-name-hue/ and I am using Selenium to scrape it. It seems though that I cannot find the elements I am interested in. This is my attemp:

import selenium
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.color-blindness.com/color-name-hue/')

driver.implicitly_wait(60)

driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input#cp1_Hue")

Some other attempts:

driver.find_element_by_id("cp1_Hue")

I keep getting this error message: NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"input#cp1_Hue"} (Session info: chrome=89.0.4389.82)

Has anyone faced the same issue?

Thanks in advance!

Try this link to scrape whatever you wanted from the link in your post. The good news is you can use this link within requests module as the content available here are static. — SIM

There's Iframe element, what doesn't allow to interact with elements inside it.

You should switch on it
Interact with elements what you're looking for

try this:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.color-blindness.com/color-name-hue/')

driver.implicitly_wait(5)

driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, 'iframe'))

input = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#cp1_Hue")
input.send_keys(10)

driver.quit()
