Hi everyone

I've starting looking into Node Red a couple days ago and I've managed to create some basic flows.  
I'm also using Home Assistant, on a RaspPi4 with a ConbeeII 🙂

The question I have is related to this setup:

I have a TradFri Remote and a TradFri Color bulb.  
Among other things, the remote does the following: with the left arrow, I change the color to Pink, with the right arrow I change it to Green.

To do this I use a Switch and Call Services.

What I would like to do is, when he light is Pink and I click again on the left arrow, it goes to a 3rd color, for example a neutral yellow. Same with Green and right arrow.

I thought I could use a current state node to test the color parameter but I can't find the proper values for State Location and the State value to test

Any idea what I am missing ? Or doing wrong ?

Thanks !
