First - list the year, make, model and engine of your vehicle.

Have you determine the engine oil level is correct and the oil pressure sending unit is not defective?

You can have low oil pressure reported due to a defective oil pressure sending unit (switch) - which is common (the pressure is not actually low, but rather being reported as low).

The wrong oil and/or oil filter and/or a clogged oil filter can also cause low oil pressure.

If the oil pressure is truly low - you should hear the lifters clattering at engine idle.

could you possibly tell me where it would be located?

does the color of the sensor matter?

There are YouTube videos on how to change the oil pressure switch on the 5.4 Ford engine.

I’m not sure - but I’d recommend an OEM Ford Motorcraft part.
