How can I change the label colors so that greater than .5 the color is dark green, between 0 and .5 the color is light green, less than 0 but between 0 and -.5 light red and greater than -.5 dark red?

AddLabel(yes, "Utilities 2.5%: " + XLu_d_pct, (if xlu_d_pct > 0 then Color.GREEN else if xlu_d_pct < 0 then color.RED else Color.gray));

start at one end of the number range, and check if # is > some number.
then for each comparison, move down to next limit.

start with highest limit number , 0.5.

then move down to next increment number , 0 , and check if...

i made a bubble to have 1 of 4 different colors, based on a random number, that is between -1 and 1.


Code:
input rng_top = 1.0;
input rng_bot = -1.0;
def rng = rng_top - rng_bot;

def XLu_d_pct = (rng_top - (rng * random()));

addchartbubble(1, low*0.994,
XLu_d_pct
,    (if xlu_d_pct > 0.5 then Color.dark_GREEN
 else if xlu_d_pct > 0.0 then Color.light_GREEN
 else if xlu_d_pct > -0.5 then Color.light_red
 else color.dark_red) , no);
