Hi there.
I am wanting to know if it is possible to code something where I can (for example) input a word such as lets say 'blue' into my program and get a specified/set colour to display in a picture box?

So can i maybe create a method or class for 'blue' that will have coding in it to set the colour blue to display in a picture box/display box?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

What I have tried:

I haven't tried much I just want to know if it is possible to code such a thing.

Short answer: Yes.
You need a list with color names and color codes.
When user input color name, you need to match in list and apply color code in picture box/display box/canva.
