Ah, I see what you did, you're just forcing the normal Hobbit 
&red/&yellow/&green text into the page. You should rather put thresholds on 
your SColour1 variable, and then SColour1.color should work.

Let me try this myself ...

Yes, this seems to work. On the updated compaq-server template I posted last 
week, I added:

cpqHeTemperatureCelsiusFake:    SWITCH  :       {cpqHeTemperatureCelsius} < 28 
= OK, 28 - 30 = WARN, > 30 = CRIT

to transforms,

cpqHeTemperatureCelsiusFake     : green         : OK    : Normal
cpqHeTemperatureCelsiusFake     : yellow        : WARN  : Warning
cpqHeTemperatureCelsiusFake     : red           : CRIT  : Critical

to thresholds, and then using cpqHeTemperatureCelsiusFake.color in the message 
file results in the correct icon, and changes the page colour appropriately.

But, fixing the numeric thresholds need to be done.
