    I have a white wall as a background, this wall its being illuminated by a Tv with amblight.
    I need an expression that take the colors which are being displayed on the wall and put them in a ramp effect.
    Is that even possible?

    THANK S GUYS!

    For picking a color with expression, see this:

    If you simply want to illuminate the wall with what is being shown on the TV, I would suggest making a copy of the footage, masking it so that just the TV screen is shown, then enlarging it, blurring it massively and compositing with the wall in Screen or Add mode.
