It will make more sense when you get what you have working. With what you have right now, you'll have two colours working for your gauges, but both colours will be visible all of the time.

The next step is that you have to hide the 0-30 gauge and only show it when it's needed. There's no proper way to do this, but what you can do is cover it with a huge gauge to create the illusion of the colour changing.

If you size the huge gauge properly, as that gauge drops below 30%, it reveals the new colours of the gauge underneath it. The huge size is to ensure that even a tiny fraction of a percentage drop is enough to reveal the items beneath in one go.

You should be able to see what it's doing by just comparing what you have with it commented out with the effect once it's visible. It makes a massive difference to the look of the gauge.
