Sheila,
can you bake some apples with cinnamon and brown sugar? They come out lovely and sticky, and brown.
And I second the sweet potatoes. Make chips. They are delicious and colorful.
Salmon is pink.
Chicken can be roasted until the skin is golden and crisp.
Make a BBQ sauce (with friendly spices) and marinade the pork chops in them. Then grill them. They will be a gorgeous color.
Can you eat bacon? That isn't white. I would LOVE some.
You can caramelize bananas. They are delicious.
There is a lot of color to be had depending on how you cook things.

Sweet potatoes:
Baked - they are great hot AND cold.
Mashed with a bit of coconut milk. Delicious
Candied - sliced and parboiled. Bring brown sugar and water (no idea of the quantities. I cook by feel) to the boil and pour them over a the slices laid out in a pan and bake in the oven till gooey and sticky.
Chips - slice thin, sprinkle with olive oil and salt and back till changing color and crisp. You'll get the hang of it after one time. they are also great.

And I often do sweet potatoes at breakfast, with leftover dinner or turkey bacon or - ground meat, as a hash - I peel them and cut them into small-ish dice, and they cook in a jiffy, in a saucepan with a splash of water and a tiny bit of coconut oil. By the time I have the cats fed and the coffee made, I'm sitting down to a first-rate (orange!) meal.
everything white
thanks for the hints.
my dinner is colorful, i do eat salmon and beef and veggies but the rest of the day its always white.
I guess i need help for lunchj and bfast.

I have been having difficulty eating dinner foods for breakfast. It's not easy for me either. I find sweet potato chips are the easiest, for me at least. A couple of hours after I can eat meat or fish.
Try yams, not sweet potatoes. They are the really tasty ones. Sweet potatoes are very dry, and as a first step won't excite you. Then think pumpkin, only more so. Creamier, sweeter, not stringy. Give it a try. You have nothing to lose.
