A stack, named ClrStack, contains records of some colors. Each record is represented as a tuple containing four elements — ColorName, RED, GREEN, BLUE. ColorName is a string, and RED, GREEN, BLUE are integers. For example, a record in the stack may be ('Yellow', 237, 250, 68).

Write the following user-defined functions in Python to perform the specified operations on ClrStack:

(i) push_Clr(ClrStack, new_Clr): This function takes the stack ClrStack and a new record new_Clr as arguments and pushes this new record onto the stack.

(ii) pop_Clr(ClrStack): This function pops the topmost record from the stack and returns it. If the stack is already empty, the function should display the message "Underflow".

(iii) isEmpty(ClrStack): This function checks whether the stack is empty. If the stack is empty, the function should return True, otherwise the function should return False.
