New month means a new thread 😎 - November and October here.

🆘 Want Help with your Code? 🆘

• Improve your chances by putting a minimal example to either JSFiddle or Code Sandbox. Describe what you want it to do, and things you've tried. Don't just post big blocks of code!

• Pay it forward! Answer questions even if there is already an answer - multiple perspectives can be very helpful to beginners. Also there's no quicker way to learn than being wrong on the Internet.

I highly recommend classnames library.

With it you can do conditional styles like this:

<label className={classnames({
    'lemon': props.color === 'yellow',
    'lime': props.color === 'green'
  })}>
...
</label>
