Need help with changing dropdown list fill color change

[Brittany301684995871]

Hi, 

I am a serious beginner at JavaScript so have just been blundering about with finding situations and copy/pasting the solutions others have posted. I can't quite get this right because I thought I could merge a few different posts together to get an adequate solution to no avail.

I am creating a dropdown in which I have labeled "EH, H, M, L" which need to be fill color coded as Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, respectively. My issue is with the color orange, I can't seem to figure out how to make RGB values work in this script. I'm also not sure if there is an easier script to use given my ineptitude. Below is the validation script I have been using. Thanks for the help!

var f = this.getField("Dropdown18");

if(event.value == "EH"){
f.textColor = color.black;
f.strokeColor = color.red;
f.fillColor = color.red}

else if(event.value == "M"){
f.textColor = color.black;
f.strokeColor = color.yellow;
f.fillColor = color.yellow}

else if(event.value == "L"){
f.textColor = color.black;
f.strokeColor = color.green;
f.fillColor = color.green}

else if(event.value == "H"){
f.textColor = color.black;
f.strokeColor = color.["RGB", 255/255, 136/255, 0/255];
f.fillColor = color.["RGB", 255/255, 136/255, 0/255]}

is this an acrobat question?

Yes, sorry that I didn't clarify. I am attempting to do this on Adobe Acrobat Pro, Prepare a Form.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Remove color. when using RGB like this:

f.strokeColor = color.["RGB", 255/255, 136/255, 0/255];

should be:

f.strokeColor = ["RGB", 255/255, 136/255, 0/255];

Also, if the script is in the same dropdown where you wish to change colors, replace the first line with:

var f = event.target;
