Making an action happen when an actor lands on another actor's specific string?

I'm not sure if this is even possible, but basically I am making a board game type game (I also made another post about it but got help on that thing) and I need specific words to appear on the screen when the player lands on the "Pink" string I'm stuck. Do I need to make an entirely different class for the Pink squares in order for it to happen? It needs to be random text, not the same text every time. I believe the code for a Pink class would be very similar to my Move class, which is the code that tells you where to move. If it helps, here's some of the code. Move
?

How I added Move in the Board

public void act(){
        //Make it to where when you press the "space" key, it shows the Move text
        if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("space")) {
            move.showRandomText();
        }
    }
The strings for the colors (Pink has it's own)
?

public static String[] colors = {"Red", "Purple", "Yellow", "Blue", "Orange", "Green", "Cyan"};
    public static String[] pink = {"Pink"};

I would just modify the Move class to accommodate that Pink has its own set of texts to use.
