Hello,

I suggest writing a script on the actionPerformed event on the Timer component. Check out the documentation for the Timer component:  
[https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/video/timer-scripts](https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/video/timer-scripts)  
[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Timer](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Timer)

You can assign colors in a script by importing and making colors like this:

```auto
import java.awt from Color
black = Color(0,0,0)

```

To make it blink perhaps check if the value property of the Timer component is odd and use one color and if it is even then use a different color.
