XF 2.2 Using keyed array in template

[asprin]

My controller has this:

$colors = ['30' => 'blue', '55' => 'green'];

$viewParams = [
    'colors' => $colors,
    'entity1' => $entity1,
    'entity2' => $entity2
];

return $this->view('ASP\Foo:bar', 'asp_foo_bar', $viewParams);

And my template has this

<xf:comment>
    {$entity1.sys_id} --> this prints 30
    {$entity2.sys_id} --> this prints 55
</xf:comment>

So basically, what I'm trying to achieve is PHP's equivalent of the following inside the template:

$bgcolor1 = $colors[$entity1->sys_id];
$bgcolor2 = $colors[$entity2->sys_id];

// so how would this be used in a template?

// I tried with {$colors.$entity1.sys_id} but that was throwing template errors

<xf:comment>
    {$colors.{$entity1.sys_id}} --> this prints blue
    {$colors.{$entity2.sys_id}} --> this prints green
</xf:comment>

Worked like a charm. Thanks.
