Ok, just for the sake of it:

The whole flow:

The output of the debug node:

The screen:

And I have the setting:
angular theme in ui-template set.
Just so it is declared.

(sorry)
But look at what is being sent to it. rgb.....
ng-style=\"{color:'rgb(200,0,0)'}

It is 23:44 local time.

I have been up since 07:15.

Bed is calling.
Bye and thanks for the help so far.
It isn't I am running away from the problem. I am just tired.

Change the function node to:

msg.device = "TABBYCAT";
color = "200,0,0"
msg.template ="<i class='fa fa-bullseye fa-2x' style='color:rgb("+color+")'></i>"
return msg;

In post 29 you said

The 'that' in question being the changed line with the quotes fixed, so you were saying that with the modified line you still got the error, which you now say was not correct.

44

That is the error the node had. Not what it was sending as a message.

I have shown the screen shot of the error.

(If you are still reading)

Got a night's sleep. Got up and thought about it.

The code was dumped as not being viable and I found another way to get it done.

Sometimes you have to walk away from something you don't understand and accept not understanding it or knowing a solution.
