Your code sets the transition colors based on the hour of the day, but it is easier to control those transition colors directly in the action timer actions to set the colors from RED to AM/PM colors.
To accomplish this, I would suggest using a second Time measure monitoring seconds. By setting the action timer "wait" to result in a 3-second change, you use modulo of 12 and take the 2 transition changes every 6 seconds to transition the colors back and forth every 3 seconds.
Note you do not need a fast skin update, Update=1000 works. Also using the CLAMP () function works better for me instead of MIN () in Action Timer where the steps and repeat numbers can result in inaccurate transitions.
