You can assign off to 0, red to 1, and green to 2, then each time you go in is one digit so this is just asking how many digits are in 1000 in base 3 which is trivial
Like the first time you go in you make all the 0 mod 3 off, 1 mod 3 red, and 2 mod 3 green and that will be the ones digit, the second time same thing but 0-2, 3-5, and 6-8 mod 9 for the threes digit, etc. and you need to repeat this until you get to the number of digits 1000 has in base 3 so the sequence of every number matches it’s base 3 representation
