Default Changing the Colour of an Auto Shape (Line)


Could anyone help me with this query. I simply want to create a line
that changes colour, which I can do in part. But why when I run the
code, when BLUE or GREEN is entered into Test Sub, it just runs as
RED?


Code:
--------------------
Sub TestShoot()
Call DrawShooting(171#, 115.5, 255.75, 167.25, 2, "BLUE")
End Sub

Sub DrawShooting(StartX As Single, StartY As Single, EndX As Single, EndY As Single, _
Shots As Integer, Optional Color As String)
Dim Shot As Shape
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer

'AddLine(BeginX As Single, BeginY As Single, EndX As Single, EndY As Single) As Shape - Member of Excel.Shapes
If IsMissing(Color) Then
Color = "RED"
ElseIf Color < "GREEN" Or Color < "BLUE" Then
Color = "RED"
End If


Select Case Color
Case "RED"
For i = 1 To Shots
Set Shot = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(StartX, StartY, EndX, EndY)
For j = 1 To 255
Shot.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0 + j, 0 + j)
Application.Wait Now() + 0.0000007
Next
Shot.delete
Next
Case "GREEN"
For i = 1 To Shots
Set Shot = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(StartX, StartY, EndX, EndY)
For j = 1 To 255
Shot.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0 + j, 255, 0 + j)
Application.Wait Now() + 0.0000007
Next
Shot.delete
Next
Case "BLUE"
For i = 1 To Shots
Set Shot = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(StartX, StartY, EndX, EndY)
For j = 1 To 255
Shot.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0 + j, 0 + j, 255)
Application.Wait Now() + 0.0000007
Next
Shot.delete
Next
End Select
End Sub
--------------------


It is obviously something to do with my "
Code:
--------------------
If Color < "GREEN" Or Color < "BLUE" Then
--------------------
" statement, but I'm not sure what. Also, is there a more intuitive way
of selecting the colours than repeating similar code for RED GREEN AND
BLUE. Any help is appreciated.
