It’s me again!! 😃  
I’d like to have color of a tag number change to red if that value is negative and green if the value is positive. would this be an expression thing or scripting?  
something like

```auto
if({Root Container.KL.LED Display 1.value} >= 0
	brighter(green),
	brighter(red)
	)
```

is that a correct expression for color or is there something else i can use?
