Auto-fill color dropdown

I am trying to get my dropdowns to auto-fill with yellow when someone chooses "N" or No but do not like the harsh generic yellow. I have tried to research how to enter one of the other colors by using their RGB on a 0-1 scale. My question is where would I need to insert the RGB in my current script:

event.target.fillColor=(this.getField("Dropdown35").valueAsString=="N")? color.yellow:color.transparent;

And how should I enter it? All the forums I have read have =["RGB",value,value,value]

Thank you!

Just replace color.yellow with what you found, so something like this:

event.target.fillColor=(this.getField("Dropdown35").valueAsString=="N")? ["RGB",255/255,255/255,224/255] : color.transparent;

This will result in a light yellow color.

I am getting a Syntax error when I try that.

So I see you removed the word color. before the color calculations but now I have run into another problem. It highlights the box with every selection when I only want it to highlight when "N" is chosen. But the good news is the yellow is correct. Any thoughts on why it might be highlighting all the selections now just because I removed color.?
