Hi All,

I would like that my text should display what color it has

Example - Red should reflect in red color, pink in pink

I tried ColorValue(ThisItem.Color) but getting an error, new to powerapps - please help

Can't view your screenshot, so not sure how your formula is setup.

However, the ColorValue function expects one of a few inputs:

CSS color name

Hex 6 digit

Hex 8 digit

Unfortunately, although there are enumerated colors in Power Apps, they won't resolve from a text input. Specifically, "White" as a text string is not the same as White (no quotes) in a formula bar. If your source has text color names, you can simply resolve the string/text using a lookup collection.

ClearCollect(colColorReferences,{tblColorString: "White", tblColorEnumerated: White})

Then you can try to find the color from your source.

ColorValue(LookUp(colColorReferences, ThisItem.Color = tblColorString, tblColorEnumerated))

You need to use the Fill or Color property, of the label.

In your screenshot, you're setting the Text of the label.
