Setting an expression colour in a light fill layer

Hi, I'm having trouble changing the colour of a light layer in a logo reveal template.

When I change the colour from red to green it keeps defaulting to red.

I think it is to do with the expression which is comp("Main").layer("ColorControl").effect("Light")("Color").

I've tried various commands such as comp("Main").layer("ColorControl").effect("Light")("Color")("fillColor#7B8E31") and "ColorControl#7B8E31") but keep getting error warnings.

Could someone help? Thanks very much!

comp("Main").layer("ColorControl").effect("Light")("Color")

should be enough, try to check the name of the composition, the layer name and the effect name in the expression, there might be an issue with capital letters.

Ensure you are using the correct syntax by setting the color property directly, like this: `comp("Main").layer("ColorControl").effect("Light")("Color").setValue([0.482, 0.557, 0.192])` for a green color.
