Can Turing recognize colours?

[chimerix]

Ive got a problem. Say you have two boxes coloured blue and red, then green dots randomly being placed in these two boxes. Can I write a line of code that allows turing to acknowledge which box the dot has landed in based on colour, not any other variables.

WhatDotColour.
Search each pixel for green. then recursively go off in a direction (If the box is always withing a square) and if the colour is different from green then thats what box its in. That's one way that is terrible to do.

As Zren is leading up to -- if you know where your boxes are, and where to check for colour... then you don't really need the colour, as you have enough information to tell you exactly which box the location is in.

I was using boxes for a simple example. What I am trying to do is actually find if the green dot lands in an irregular shape or not; like the geographical picture of the US.

Then you would need a unique colour for every country, and it will likely still be inaccurate around borders.

Besides, ultimately checking for a colour is still checking against "boxes"; it's just that each box happens to be 1 pixel in size.
