I have now got 9 TextField’s or at least I think they are TextField’s. I am trying to change the colour/background colour of them. So on one I added the line "fillColor: Colors.green)," in the hope this would turn the background of the TextField green, but nothing has changed. Have I put this in the incorrect place or used the incorrect command? Also once I have the colour can I change it depending on the input number, for example below 5 it would be red, between 5.1 and 9 it would be green and 9.1 or above its orange?

LATEST UPDATE after help from eamirho3ein
This is the new code, input 1 does change colour as it should, but so does input 2 on reaction to input 1 input. If I change the calculation to numR1C2controller instead of numR1C1controller (on the 3 lines), the colour changing just stops working.
_calculateR1() {
if (numR1C1controller.text.isNotEmpty &&
numR1C2controller.text.isNotEmpty) {
setState(() {
double sum = double.parse(numR1C1controller.text) -
double.parse(numR1C2controller.text);
numR1C3controller.text = sum.toStringAsFixed(1);
result = sum.toStringAsFixed(1);
});
} else if (numR1C2controller.text.isNotEmpty) {
setState(() {
_fillColor = double.parse(numR1C2controller.text) < 5
? Colors.red
: double.parse(numR1C2controller.text) > 9.1
? Colors.orange
: Colors.green;

In order
fillColorworks you need to setfilledtotrue:for your next issue you need define new variable outside the build method like this:
then use it like this:
and also change _calculateR1 to this:
If you want to have the background filled, you have to use
filled: true,If you also want the border to be green, you have to use
focusedBorder. This way you are keeping the border grey when unfocused, but it becomes green when is focused.
