Default Using VLookup when text isn't an exact match

I am trying to match a list of data using Vlookup with an array that isn't an
exact match. Example, cell may have "red, white & blue" and the array has
"red". I want this to return a positive match, not N/A#.

Is there a way to do this using Vlookup or some other function?
