Razor Escaping my html even if I use Html.Raw - asp.net-mvc

Question

I'm having a problem where my dynamically generated html is getting escaped and outputed on the screen. heres what I have:
#{
string TrialMessage = string.Empty;
if ((bool)ViewBag.msd.IsOnTrial == true)
{
var expDate = (DateTime)ViewBag.msd.RenewalDate;
var daysToTrialExpiation = expDate.AddDays(1) - System.DateTime.UtcNow;
TrialMessage = "<b>Trial Ends in: <span style=\"color:[Color];\">" + (daysToTrialExpiation.Days) + "</span> Days</b>";
if (daysToTrialExpiation.Days > 5)
{
TrialMessage = TrialMessage.Replace("[Color]", "green");
}
else if (daysToTrialExpiation.Days > 2)
{
TrialMessage = TrialMessage.Replace("[Color]", "orange");
}
else if (daysToTrialExpiation.Days > 0)
{
TrialMessage = TrialMessage.Replace("[Color]", "red");
}
else
{
TrialMessage = "<b style=\"color: red;\"> Trial Ended " + Math.Abs(daysToTrialExpiation.Days) + " Days Ago</b>";
}
}
}
When I use the TrialMessage in the View, I'm getting the escaped version of it outputted on the screen:
<b>Trial Ends in: <span style="color:green;">15</span> Days</b>
I have tried to use Html.Raw(TrialMessage) I've even tried to manually create an HTMLString with the same result. What am I missing?
Update: The way I'm outputting it on the view is:
#Html.Raw(TrialMessage)

In an effort to just get it working (it seems you're pressed for time) what if you removed html from the variable?
Perhaps something like this could work for you:
#{
string trialColor = string.Empty;
int trialDays = 0;
if ((bool)ViewBag.msd.IsOnTrial)
{
var expDate = (DateTime)ViewBag.msd.RenewalDate;
var trialDays = (expDate.AddDays(1) - System.DateTime.UtcNow).Days;
if (trialDays > 5)
{
trialColor = "green";
}
else if (trialDays > 2)
{
trialColor = "orange";
}
else
{
trialColor = "red";
}
}
}
...
#if((bool)ViewBag.msd.IsOnTrial && trialDays > 0)
{
<strong>Trial Ends in: <span style="color:#trialColor;">#trialDays </span> Days</strong>
} else if((bool)ViewBag.msd.IsOnTrial) {
<strong style="color: red;">Trial Ended #Math.Abs(trialDays) Days Ago</strong>
}
Note: untested code. It's been a bit since I've written razor.
