I have 2 students who are using thunkable to create an app for those who are color blind. Their goal right now is focused on including the color of the item in the picture. For example, if the picture is a green banana, they want it to include the word green, and for the yellow banana, yellow.

I do not have experience with Thunkable and am posting on their behalf since our school guidelines do not allow them to participate in discussion boards.

They currently are having success with the text descriptions of the items in the image, but really need the color information.

I’m hoping someone’s here can help us out.

Thank you.
