count the number of times that a label of an item change during the simulation?

Im currently working on a Paint Shop simulation, one of the most important data to know with the simulation its the number of color changes during the day at the shop.

I crated a label with the name of "COLOR", and i want that on a certain point at the conveyor it counts the number of times that the label COLOR changes in the item.

example...

COLOR ______________ COUNT

RED ______________ 1

YELLOW______________ 2 (Different than RED)

YELLOW_____________ 2 (Same as yellow)

RED_________________ 3

BLUE________________ 4

Is that possible?

Thanks guys!!!

@Alex Gf,

Attached is your model with the changes that I've made. I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to keep track of so here is what I did.

I'm keeping track of the times that the paint color (itemtype) changes from the previous paint color (at the DP). I'm not keeping track of how many of each color there were, just the number of changes. I hope that is what you had in mind. If not, maybe this sample will give you a good idea on how you can modify it to fit your needs.
