This left brace should be a right brace. That's your problem. The hash
mark is fine, since it's in quotes.

Additional comments:
In the line
if($textcolor eq custom)
What is custom? Is that a function or a string? If a function,
write custom(), if a string, quote it like 'custom'. You should
always add the line "use strict;" to catch this kind of thing.
With this line:
print " text=\"/#$txtcustom\"";
You can avoid escaping the quotes by using the qq() quoting
mechanism, a la:
print qq[ text="/#$txtcustom"];
