you missed to declare "blurple" as of type RGBColor 

use strict;
use warnings;


warn "running";



package RGBColor {

    use fields qw(red green blue);

    sub new {
        my RGBColor $self = shift;
        my %params = @_;

        unless (ref $self) {
            $self = fields::new($self);
        }

        %{$self} = %params;
        return $self;
    }
}

my RGBColor $blurple = RGBColor->new(red => 75, blue => 200, green => 
+0);

print "blurple's blue is $blurple->{blue}\n";

$blurple->new(red => 175, blue => 100, green => 100);


print $blurple->{orange};               ### BANGS AT COMPILETIME

print "blurple's blue is $blurple->{blue}\n";
