Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm going to go with Rob's solution because I understand how to apply it and I think the answer is no, I can't directly use the value of the colour attribute to choose which colour to apply.
Wim, I hadn't heard of the outputclass attribute before, so I looked it up and it looks like a DITA thing. I should have mentioned that this is a home-grown EDD and that I'm using FrameMaker 10, so I don't think that attribute is available to me.

Once you specify the list, you can use it wherever that element is allowed. For instance: Attribute list Name: Type Choice Optional Choices: Bold, ........ Text format rules If context is: [Type = "Bold"] Text range. Font properties Weight: Bold but replace Bold with the colour etc. Hope it points you in the right direction ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2018 10:24:52 +0100 From: Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp <w...@idtp.eu<mailto:w...@idtp.eu>> To: feimin.lore...@onsemi.com<mailto:feimin.lore...@onsemi.com> Cc: Framers <framers@lists.frameusers.com<mailto:framers@lists.frameusers.com>> Subject: Re: [Framers] Setting up coloured text in Structure Message-ID: <d1fcb1fc-3571-4a4b-8a83-261bed67e...@idtp.eu<mailto:d1fcb1fc-3571-4a4b-8a83-261bed67e...@idtp.eu>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi Fei Min, you should use paragraph and chatracter formats for your elements. Use the outputclass value to determine the format to use. Then change the formats in your template as needed.
