Trouble with setPriceBarColor

[ReefBreak]

I am creating a trend indicator called Heikin-Ashi that operates by coloring price bars red and green.

The following fragment of the program is producing an error at:
setPriceBarColor(Color.lime);

The error text is:
"Heikin-Mod-A.efs Line 85 Parameter number 1 of function setPriceBarColor is invalid."

I've used this function in other .efs and it works fine. Maybe another pair of eyes can see the error.

Thank YOu,

START Heikin-Ashi code fragment here: - - -

//Execute this on all subsequent passes ;
if (v1st_pass == "false") {

haClose_Prev = haClose_Curr ;
haOpen_Prev = (haOpen_Curr + haClose_Prev) / 2.0;

haOpen_Curr = (haOpen_Prev + haClose_Prev) / 2.0;
haClose_Curr = (open() + close() + high() + low()) / 4.0;

if ( haClose_Curr > haOpen_Curr)
{
setPriceBarColor(Color.lime);
Color = "lim";
}

if ( haOpen_Curr > haClose_Curr)
{
setPriceBarColor(Color.red);
Color = "red";
}

Hi,

I'm not sure if this addresses your specific question but here's a thread from last month discussing Heikin-Ashi.

I hope that helps. If it doesn't, please reply to this post so others will know you need additional assistance.

Thanks.

ReefBreak:

The problem lies in your use of a variable called "Color" in your code. Color is a reserved object in EFS. Change your variable name to something like xColor and your script will work.
