Follow bellow tutorial step of how to generate random color in react native.

In the first step run the following command to create a project.

expo init ExampleApp

First of all you have create Data folder inside your project.in this folder create CATEGORIES.js file.

In this step, you will create the name of the object as CATEGORIEES. Export that object. You will import this file to use this object.

After then, You will open the CATEGORIES.js file and put the code.

export const CATEGORIES = [
    {
        id:'1',
        category_name:'Mobile',
    },
    {
        id:'2',
        category_name:'HeadPhone',
    },
    {
        id:'3',
        category_name:'Computer',
    },
    {
        id:'4',
        category_name:'Laptop',
    },
    {
        id:'5',
        category_name:'AC',
    },
    {

        category_name:'Camera',
    },
    {
        id:'10',
        category_name:'Home Theater',
    },
];

In this step, You will open the App.js file and put the code.

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, StatusBar, Pressable, Platform, FlatList } from 'react-native';
import { CATEGORIES } from "./Data/CATEGORIES";

const randomNumber = () => {
    const generateRandomColor = Math.floor(Math.random() * 16777215)
        .toString(16)
        .padStart(6, '0');
    return `#${generateRandomColor}`;
}

const CategoryGridTil = ({ name, onPressd }) => {
    return (
        <View style={styles.greedItem}>
            <Pressable
                style={({ pressed }) => [styles.button, pressed ? styles.buttonPressed : null]}
                android_ripple={{ color: '#ccc' }}
                onPress={onPressd}
            >
                <View style={[styles.innerContainer, { backgroundColor: randomNumber() }]}>
                    <Text style={styles.title}>{name}</Text>
                </View>
            </Pressable>
        </View>
    );
}

const renderCategoryItem = (itemData) => {
    const pressHandler = () => {
        alert(itemData.item.id + '\n' + itemData.item.category_name);
    }

    return (
        <CategoryGridTil name={itemData.item.category_name} onPressd={pressHandler} />
    );
}

const App = () => {
    return (
        <View style={{ backgroundColor: '#965c0c' }}>
            <FlatList
                data={CATEGORIES}
                keyExtractor={(item) => item.id}
                renderItem={renderCategoryItem}
                numColumns={2}
            />
            <StatusBar />
        </View>
    );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    greedItem: {
        flex: 1,
        margin: 16,
        height: 150,
        borderRadius: 8,
        elevation: 4,
        backgroundColor: 'white',
        shadowColor: 'black',
        shadowOpacity: 0.25,
        shadowOffset: {
            width: 0,
            height: 2,
        },
        shadowRadius: 8,
        overflow: Platform.OS === 'android' ? 'hidden' : 'visible',
    },
    button: {
        flex: 1,
    },
    buttonPressed: {
        opacity: 0.5,
    },
    innerContainer: {
        flex: 1,
        padding: 16,
        borderRadius: 8,
        justifyContent: 'center',
        alignItems: 'center',
    },
    title: {
        fontWeight: 'bold',
        fontSize: 18,
        color: 'white',
    },
});
