1. An information handling system comprising:
a housing;
a processor disposed in the housing portion and operable to execute instructions to process information;
a memory disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory storing the information and instructions;
a storage device interfaced with the processor and having non-transient memory;
a display interfaced with the processor, the display operable to present the information as visual images;
a peripheral camera separate from the housing and having a cylindrical housing, an image sensor at a first end of the cylindrical housing, a magnet at a second end of the cylindrical housing that magnetically couples the cylindrical housing to the display, a colorimeter at the second end of the cylindrical housing, a processing resource and a non-transient memory; and
instructions stored in the storage device non-transient memory that when executed on the processor cause a comparison of colors detected by the colorimeter and colors of the visual images to determine a location of the peripheral camera on the display;
wherein the color detected by the colorimeter is selected to presentation in the visual image based on the color not present in content presented at the display.
