Change Div background Colour dependent on PHP variable

Hi,

I have looked everywhere for a way to do this and would be grateful for a pointer in the right direction.

I want to change the background color of the div with the id of “loggedin”, depending on the status. The status currently echos text depending on the value.

<div class="grid_12" id="loggedin">

                <div>
		 <ul id="loggedin">
                <li><?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo 'Status : ' . $current_user->status . "\n";?></li>

                <li>
                <?php if ($current_user->status=="RED") echo "Red info"; ?>
                <?php if ($current_user->status=="GREEN") echo "Green info"; ?>
                <?php if ($current_user->status=="BLUE") echo "Blue info"; ?>
		<?php if ($current_user->status=="YELLOW") echo "Yellow info"; ?>

                </li>

                </div>

</div>

Thanks
