You probably figured out that a color was not getting assigned when Price was less than or equal to the the Moving Average (of three bars ago). While it probably won't be too common (this depends on the Moving Average settings to some extent), you are still not assigning a color when Price equals the Moving Average. You may want to try resolving the issue by replacing the following line:

ElseIf price.Close < Ma.Value(3) Then

With the shorter line:

Else
