Label Text and Color question

[poutses]

Hello, I'm trying to add a label that dynamically changes its text and color depending on a condition being met. My code below:

#EMA3vsEMA9
#Checks if the previous day's closing EMA3 is higher or lower than the previous days closing EMA9

input MA_1_length = 3; #exponential
input MA_2_length = 9; #exponential

input MA_1_closeType = ohlc4;
input MA_2_closeType = ohlc4;

AddLabel(yes, if MA_1_closeType > MA_2_closeType then "HIGHER" else "LOWER");

Essentially I have this working to the point where it displays HIGHER or LOWER. What I want it to do is if MA_1_closeType > MA_2_closeType then display HIGHER and color the label green, and if it MA_1_closeType < MA_2_closeType then display LOWER and color the label red.

Thank you for your help.

Try this

AddLabel(yes, if MA_1_closeType > MA_2_closeType then "HIGHER" else "LOWER", if MA_1_closeType > MA_2_closeType then color.green else color.red);

Ahhh, I was going down this route but was putting the colors after the string value, which is why it wasn't working for me. Thank you!
