How would I change the color of the text To Black what do I have to change or add ? Thank You

Code:
# creates custom watch list column that says "bullish" in green when both price > 50sma AND 50sma > 200sma
# or that says "bearish" in red when both price < 50sma AND 50sma < 200sma

# note the two risky or uncertain times are currently blank cells, both critera have been defined so that risky50over200 and risky200over50 could be used to create labels and/or color-coding for those conditions as well (via editing the AddLabel and/or the AssignBackgroundColor lines of code)

def x = SimpleMovingAvg("length" = 50);
def y = SimpleMovingAvg("length" = 200);

def risky50over200 = x > y AND close < x;
def risky200over50 = x < y AND close > x;

def bullish = close > x AND x > y;
def bearish = close < x AND x < y;

AddLabel (yes, if bearish then "bearish  " else if bullish then "bullish  " else " ");

AssignBackgroundColor (if bearish then color.RED else if bullish then color.GREEN else color.LIGHT_GRAY);

Ruby:
declare upper;
input length = 8;
defineglobalcolor("color", color.white);

plot avg7 = ExpAverage(open, length);
#avg7.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
avg7.SetDefaultColor(globalcolor("color"));
avg7.HideBubble();
avg7.SetLineWeight(1);
avg7.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);
Avg7.AssignValueColor(GlobalColor("Color"));

plot avg8 = ExpAverage(close, length);
#avg8.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
avg8.SetDefaultColor(globalcolor("color"));
avg8.HideBubble();
avg8.SetLineWeight(1);
avg8.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);
Avg8.AssignValueColor(GlobalColor("Color"));
