Matrix: set row color by field

Hello! I have a Matrix for showing transactional data:

(Nested) Rows: Budget Group, Acct, Date, Description

Values: Amount

I want to set the whole row, for Acct, as always background yellow.

I cannot find a way to do that. I can only see "Banded row color" option. But I do not want that, because then Acct sometimes is grey, and sometimes white. I want Acct row always yellow. I am not using columns, so "Specific column" settings does not work for me (at least I don't think so, since only "Sum of Amount" appears there).

This is easy to do in Excel Pivot Tables using the pivot formatting, so I feel like I must be missing something in Power BI...

Thank you!

You can do that with measures EXCEPT for the row headers.  Looks kinda ugly.
