There may not be a way to determine the color(s) in a photo in a Thunkable app. But I Googled “color detection photo api” and found some APIs that might do this. Have you tried any of them? Also, in case you’re not aware, WRITING IN ALL CAPS IS CONSIDERED YELLIING and is not always the best way to ask for help. Is this a school project? ---

I think what you are wanting would require training a machine learning model to recognize only the desired item and then further, only it’s color. Not an easy task but most likely is possible with nocode! ---

What you’re trying to do may be **very** difficult. This is a conversation you should have with your instructor. It never feels good to be in a panic but keep in mind that most of the people who respond on these forums are volunteering their time to help. We’re just users like you. ---

That’s a conversation you need to have with your teacher. You’ve asked if there is a way to create a color detector in Thunkable and two of us who have extensive knowledge of Thunkable have told you it’s either not possible or very difficult. So you need to figure out with the help of your teacher what your next step is. ---

First of all thank you so much for helping me out So if you as an (expert) is saying that it is not possible for me And since i don’t have much time what do you think would be the best app idea to quickly be able to code? My mentor unfortunetly doesn’t know much about thunkable and i need this app submission so ican pass this app to the judges and be able to go to the second part of the course… Thanks and Reagards Hafsa ---

What do you already know how to do in Thunkable? Does the app have to help people? What are some interests/hobbies you have? I’m kind of surprised your mentor isn’t able to ask you those questions. They have very little to do with app development. Consider what you know and come up with an achievable plan with your mentor. And if the course/contest doesn’t require app programming then submit an essay or a sketch/wireframe of your app idea or a video explaining how it would work. You might have to get creative! ---

> [@tatiang](#): > > color detection photo api I know how to use the basic functions in thunkable The app could be about helping with envoirement for example Some of the hobbies/interests i have is reading ,writing journal,bicycling,skatboarding… Unfortunatley in the course we have to submit an app with programming… Are there any envoirement topic apps …like something that tracks your walking distance … ---
