Detect an object of a certain color and move to it

I'm using Gazebo 9.5.0 and ROS Melodic on an Ubuntu 18.04.

I'm newbie with Gazebo and ROS, and I only need suggestions about how to do this:

Use a Pioneer3AT robot with a vision system that is able to detect an object of a certain color and move to it.

Is there any plugin that can detect objects of a color and move to it?

I'm so late in replying, but for people who might see this message in future: You can achieve this with PCL(point cloud library), meaning that you need a depth sensor. The following link is exactly what was asked here: https://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/region_growing_rgb_segmentation.html

You can get the position of the object with this package, and then use navigation stack for moving the mobile robot to it.
