HELP with Electromancy for Iray

Super cheese sandwich

Hi. I can't change the color of the lightning. Whatever color I choose It's always gray. What I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

Try selecting the surface in the surface tab before applying the colour preset. Some items need the surface selected when changing materials.

And here it's for the green lighting:
