Switch statement for greater-than/less-than

so I want to use a switch statement like this:

switch (scrollLeft) {
  case (<1000):
   //do stuff
   break;
  case (>1000 && <2000):
   //do stuff
   break;
}

Now I know that either of those statements (<1000) or (>1000 && <2000) won't work (for different reasons, obviously). What I'm asking is the most efficient way to do just that. I hate using 30 if statements, so I'd rather use the switch syntax. Is there anything that I can do?

In my case (color-coding a percentage, nothing performance-critical), I quickly wrote this:

function findColor(progress) {
    const thresholds = [30, 60];
    const colors = ["#90B451", "#F9A92F", "#90B451"];

    return colors.find((col, index) => {
        return index >= thresholds.length || progress < thresholds[index];
    });
}
