If color, else color_temp

Configuration
1

Hi, I’m stuck getting this automation to work.

essentially, if “color” is a color (eg, the word red, or orange, etc), then use the color_name field, but if “color” is “white”, then use the color_temp filed with an integer, ie 256. how can I vary the data field in use, based on the color?

action:
- service: light.turn_on
  data: 
    area_id: "{{name}}"
    color_name: "{{color}}"

thanks so much

action:
  - if: "{{ color == 'white' }}"
    then:
      - service: light.turn_on
        data: 
          color_temp: 256
        target:
          area_id: "{{name}}"
    else:
      - service: light.turn_on
        data: 
          color_name: "{{color}}"
        target:
          area_id: "{{name}}"
