Combine multiple values to color values using expressions

Hello everyone,

I have a category field that I want to display on a dashboard list with different background colors (div) for each category. For example: I have a field called “Project_status” and the categories are:

1.Completed,

2.Proposed,

3.In-progress,

4.Under-Review,

5.Funded,

6.Canceled,

7.Incomplete,

8. Extended,

9.Approved.

What I want to accomplish is to color “Completed”, “Canceled” and “Incomplete” with a GREEN background color, “In-progress” and “Under-Review” as ORANGE and else as GRAY background color. I don’t want to create a new field just to combine the categories and I’m trying to build an expression to combine the values. I was able to create an expression ( I'm just learning) for coding a color for each category but I’m not sure how to ‘group” multiple categories to assign the same color code. Below is a sample of the expression I created. (I also created a HTML style using <div style="background-color: {expression/ backCardColor} </div> to assign the background color.) . If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks !

********************************************************

Var prjStatus= $datapoint["Project_Status"];

if (prjStatus == 'Under-Review') { //... I need to add “In-progress” to have the same color.

return {

backgroundColor: '',

selectionTextColor: 'da687b',

attributes: {

backCardColor: '#f6deb1',

}

else (prjStatus == 'Completed') { // I need to add “Canceled” and “Incomplete” to have the same color…

return {

backgroundColor: '',

selectionTextColor: 'da687b',

attributes: {

backCardColor: '#dee7d5',

}

else {

return {

backgroundColor: '',

selectionTextColor: 'da687b',

attributes: {

backCardColor: '#dfe1e3',

}
