Hi

 

Try using the dax below to get the maximum value for each row

 

MaxValue11 = 
MAXX(
    UNION(
        SUMMARIZE('Table', "Value", 'Table'[Green]),
        SUMMARIZE('Table', "Value", 'Table'[Grey]),
        SUMMARIZE('Table', "Value", 'Table'[Orange])
    ),
    [Value]
)

 

This is the result you want

Since there is no function in DAX that can be used to get the column names in a table, it is not possible to use DAX to change the color of a value based on the column where the maximum value is located.
