Tile card icon color from template (without card-mod?)

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello,
I’m trying to configure my tile card icon color to match the entity state.
I’m wondering, why template are not working to set my tile-card icon color ?

type: tile
entity: sensor.rte_tempo_couleur_actuelle
icon: mdi:lightning-bolt-circle
color: 'red'

this works:
image

but if I try to templage the color:

type: tile
entity: sensor.rte_tempo_couleur_actuelle
icon: mdi:lightning-bolt-circle
color: "{{ 'red' }}"

this time it’s not working :

Templating is not supposed to work on evey field ?
(of course I need to do a more compex template to remap my french colors in english, but i already tested it in template toolbox)

Thanks.

According to the docs, icons on tile cards can be coloured by token or code. No mention of templates.

Templates are only supported in Markdown card for “content” option.

@jackjourneyman what do you mean by code ?
from the card itself or from an automation or something else ?

Otherwise I will use card-mod :slight_smile:
(I also found another way by conditional display based on status value, but that’s a little messy I think)

Hexadecimal colour code.
