AssignColorsSensitivityLabels.PS1

# AssignColorsSensitivityLabels.PS1
# A script to assign suitable traffic light colors to sensitivity labels
# The script works by assigning thresholds for Green, Yellow, and Red label colors based on the priority order of the label. The code then
# checks existing colors assigned to labels used with items and assigns the approriaate label color.

# Define thresholds
[int]$Yellow = 5
[int]$Red = 13

# Define colors to use 

$GreenLabel = "#00FF00"
$YellowLabel = "#FFFF00"
$RedLabel =  "#FF0000"

# Create a hash table to translate color hex values to display values.
