Tailwind + Angular does not accept class names generated by concatenation

I'm just trying to dynamically set my background color:

let color =
      this.table.state == tableState.FREE
        ? 'green'
        : this.table.state == tableState.BOOKED
        ? 'yellow'
        : 'red';

Or just to simplify it:

let color = 'red'

Then I just add 'bg-' and '-600' of the tailwind syntax:

this.TableUiConfig.color = 'bg-' + color + '-600'; // result should be 'bg-red-600'

Well, for some reason it doesn't work.

this.TableUiConfig.color = 'bg-' + color + '-600'; // DOES NOT WORK

this.TableUiConfig.color = 'bg-red-600'; // DOES WORK

When using concatenation:

Not using concatenation:

As I've read here I can use whitelist, so the purge thing doesn't care when I generate my own classes, (not knowing why it does it in the first place). Anyway, should I create a whitelist for all the classes I'm trying to use? Or is there another method to disable the purge?

Tailwind is unable to generate classes if you don't include the entire class name in your source: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/content-configuration#dynamic-class-names
