Specifying non-predefined colors in AddLabel

[dj45]

If I want to color a label with predefined colors in thinkscript, that's easy enough:

AddLabel(yes, myVar, (if myVar > 2 then Color.GREEN else if myVar > 1 then Color.Yellow else Color.Orange));

But what if I want to specify colors not predefined in thinkscript? Can I specify colors using hex code? I know thinkscript will accept RGB colors using CreateColor, but Color.CreateColor(150, 220, 230) is not valid.

How can I specify non-predefined colors in this AddLabel statement?

I would refer you to CreateColor() for proper implementation, as well as DefineColor() and DefineGlobalColor()...

When using AddLabel() you either need to have pre-defined colors or create one on the fly unless you have pre-defined global colors...

Got it. So I do:

DefineGlobalColor("Global1", CreateColor(0, 128, 0));
AddLabel(yes, myVar, (if myVar > 2 then GlobalColor("Global1") else if myVar > 1 then Color.Yellow else Color.Orange));

Thanks!
