Issue Color in Dax

Hi,

 

I have an issue with the following measure trying to change the color depending of type of measure.  It show me the name of the color instead of changing the color.

_0 Color = 
VAR RESULT = SUMX(VALUES('Calendar'[Date]),IF(AND(0<>([_Actual Rev]),0<>Backlog[_Backlog Rev]),Actuals[_Actual Rev],Actuals[_Actual Rev]+Backlog[_Backlog Rev]))
RETURN
IF([_Actual Rev],"Blue","Red")

Each measure comes from different tables:

 

_Actual Rev = SUM(Actuals[Revenue])
 
_Backlog Rev = CALCULATE(SUM(Backlog[Value]),Backlog[Metric]="Backlog")
 
Hope you can help me.

@cristianml , A color measure like

 

IF(not(isblank([_Actual Rev])) ,"Blue","Red")

 

and use in conditional formatting using field value option
