My function is:

function [R,G,B] = MostDistantPixel(pixels)

%rest of code

R = ipixel(1)

G = ipixel(2)

B = ipixel(3)

On the command window it says R = 50, G = 48, and B= 47.

However, it is not returning these outputs and returning only the first output R with a value of 50. How do I fix this?

You need to call the function with three output arguments, e.g.:

inp = [...]; % your input array
[RR,GG,BB] = MostDistantPixel(inp)

Useful basic MATLAB concepts, such as how to call functions with multiple input/output arguments, are explained in the introductory tutorials:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/getting-started-with-matlab.html

Note that if a function that returns an output and it is called without any outputs being allocated to a variable, then its first output will be assigned to the default variable ans:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/ans.html

It is recommended to avoid referring to ans in code: it is recommended to always define your own output variables.

PS: You will probably also want to suppress the displaying of R, G, and B using semi-colons.

"So let’s say I use this function in another function, it will return the three outputs?"

Where you call it from makes absolutely no difference: if you define your function with three output arguments then when you call it you can allocate those three outputs to three variables. It makes no difference if you do this from the command line, inside another function, or in a script: the syntax is always the same (just like I showed in my answer).

Note that you can also call a function with fewer outputs than the function defines, the unassigned outputs are then essentially ignored (however in some cases, e.g. meshgrid, ndgrid, find, size, etc., the number of output arguments used can also change the functionality).
