hi guys, I was wondering if someone could help me, I've got a list of strings that need to be scrubbed, my method below isn't the most efficient but i am unsure of other methods that can help me:

    
    if    ($colr =~'baby blue')
    {
    $trimmedcolr = 'BB';
    }
    
    if    ($colr =~'baby pink')
    {
    $trimmedcolr = 'BP';
    }
        
    if    ($colr =~'dark blue')
    {
    $trimmedcolr = 'DB';
    }
    
    if    ($colr =~'dark purple')
    {
    $trimmedcolr = 'DP';
    }

    if    ($colr =~'hot pink')
    {
    $trimmedcolr = 'HP';
    }

    if    ($colr =~'light purple')
    {
    $trimmedcolr = 'LP';
    }
        
    else 
    {
    ($trimmedcolr = $colr)
    }
