Assigning default colors

I am wondering how to revert colors to the default theme colors.

I have a binding on textStyle.color, when there is a alarm state I set the color to red using a “if true then map to ‘red’ “.

My question is how do I revert this to a theme color? Obviously mapping it to black or white would work only when the user is on the “correct” theme.

I tried “default” and that does not seem to work it just holds the red after the alarm has cleared.

The proper CSS way to do this would be to create a Perspective style class alarmState where you set the text color. Rather than red I would use a built-in theme color --error. When using this in your style class you will use the var(--error) syntax.

Then create an expression binding on the label's style.classes:

if(
	{[default]myAlarm},   // replace with your alarm indicator.
	'alarmState',
	''
)

This will change with theme selection to match everything else which you will naturally have defined with theme colors (won't you?).

Thanks, while messing with that I also learned you can go to Map and change the output types which includes a selection for style class.
