I assigned a color to the background color and then was able to add binding…so far so good  
Although the backgroundColor label in the props drop down changes color correctly when I change the tag value, the label itself does not change color.

Here is my binding expression:  
if ({[default]P3 Conveyor Status Tags/Fault Value} = 0, “00D900”,  
if ({[default]P3 Conveyor Status Tags/Fault Value} = 1, “FFFF00”,  
if ({[default]P3 Conveyor Status Tags/Fault Value} = 2, “FF0000”, “AAAAAA”)))

Here is a screen print. The label with “Running” is the one in question. You can see on the right that backgroundColor is green. In the designer the label stays the purple color I assigned it. In the url launch it has no color at all. Next steps???
