I am trying to make an image change its color by typing a text in a text box such as "Red" or "Blue". But I do not know what functions to use. I've tried Player.Chatted and GetPropertyChangedSignal.

How can I detect a specific word using Textboxes?

You could use the InputChanged event of a TextBox to run your code when the text is altered. Using that you could either create a dictionary correlating all the available strings into colors or a more limited option you could use BrickColors and convert that to a Color3 value.
local Colors = {
red = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0),
green = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0),
blue = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 255),
}
TextBox.InputChanged:Connect(function()
local Color = Colors[TextBox.Text:lower()]
if Color then
ImageLabel.Color = Color
end
end)

Why would you want to use InputChanged over FocusLost? Are you expecting the player to use something but a keyboard to enter a word?
Ill try it, thanks
