Do you want to show the column value as "Active" when current (today's) date is in between Start date and End Date? Or if both the Start date and End date are in current month?

What is the internal name of Start date and End date columns?

Use below code for changing colors:
{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "txtContent": "=if(@now >= [$StartDate] && @now <= [$EndDate], 'Active', 'Non Active')", "style": { "color": "=if(@now >= [$StartDate] && @now <= [$EndDate], 'green', 'red')", "font-weight": "bold" } }For more information related to styling refer: Use column formatting to customize SharePoint
