Ring Control Output is the Item name and not the value

[Dr.Pepper]

Hello. I am new to Labview. I am experimenting with labview and just creating simple VI's to learn about the software. I have placed a ring control and attached an indicator to that ring control. I thought that the purpose of a ring control was to select an item and output a value. For example, I have placed 3 items in the ring properties (Red, Blue, Yellow) and given those items values of 1,2,3. But when I run the VI and select Blue, I was expecting the indicator attached to the control to read 2 but instead it says 'Blue' (same for other items as well). What am I misunderstanding here or doing incorrectly? I have also attached a screenshot.

Your indicator is another ring that has the same name value pairs, so it is going to display the name associated with the value.  Delete the ring indicator and just drop in a regular numeric indicator.  Then it will show you the value.
