You can simply loop through the entirety of workspace:GetDescendants(), meaning everything parented under workspace even children of children, check if its BrickColor is the color you want, or check Color3 if you’re using that, and if so, :Destroy() it.

for i, v in pairs(worksapce:GetDescendants()) do --v is the current object
    if v.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright yellow") then --check if the current object is colored "Bright yellow"
        v:Destroy() --destroy that object if so
    end
end

Writing such code in the command bar might be confusing since it’s all in one line.

You may be trying to index BrickColor on an Instance that isn’t a BasePart which will result in an error.

To fix this, use the IsA method to check it’s class:

for _, Child in pairs(worksapce:GetDescendants()) do
    if (Child:IsA("BasePart") and Child.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")) then
        Child:Destroy();
    end
end
