Timestamp Comparison to Standard Timestamp

Hello,

I need to add a background color based on whether a timestamp is before or after 12:00PM.  If the timestamp is before 12:00PM, the background color will be Red().  If the timestamp is after 12:00PM the color will be Green().  The issue is how do I evaluate the timestamp to compare to my standard of 12:00PM?  Below is what I came up with, but it's not working.  I know the issue is in the "Timestamp('12:00','hh:mm')," portion of the expression.  Thank you in advance for any assistance on this issue. 

If(Timestamp(Date ,'hh:mm')<=Timestamp('12:00','hh:mm'),Red(), Green())

If Date is a datetime field then trying frac 'ing it :

     If(Timestamp(frac(Date ,'hh:mm'))<=Timestamp('12:00','hh:mm'),Red(), Green())

You need to convert the TimeStamp in Time Format before comparing...

=If(Time(Frac(TImeStamp(NOW())),'hh:mm')>=Time#('12:00','hh:mm'),GREEN(),RED())

Use your TimeStamp Field instead of NOW()
