I think your logic might need straightening here, you're saying

if (x == 'red') 
	or 
if 'green' 
	or 
if 'blue'


but I think you mean

if (x == 'red') 
	or 
if (x == 'green') 
	or 
if (x == 'blue')

so try this

if (x == 'red') or (x == 'green') or (x == 'blue'):

or maybe even

if x in ('red', 'green', 'blue'):

*oops* I see Ronald has got his answer in first!
