Making my color set to a variable

I am trying to set my color in a span style to a variable...anyone know why this is wrong?

<span style="font-weight:bold; color:"<%= AccountWarningStyle %>"; font-size:14px;"></span>

AccountWarningStyle is my c# variable

You have quotation marks around your C# code: "<% ... %>". The first quote makes your browser think your style attribute is finished immediately after "color:"

You need to remove the extra quote marks from around the `<%= AccountWarningStyle%>". This will render as:

<span style="font-weight:bold; color:"red"; font-size:14px;">

Where it should be:

<span style="font-weight:bold; color:red; font-size:14px;">
