Conditional format time in matrix - using dax

Hi

 

I have a matix visual that contains peoples names in the first column, dates across the header row and the values are times hh:mm:ss.  I would like to conditionally format the time values if they meet the criteria below. I am asuming this woud have to be done in dax

Before 16:00:00 = Red

Between 16:00:00 - 17:00:00 = Orange

Between 17:00:00 - 17:30:00 = Green

Between 17:30:00-18:00:00 = Blue

After 18:00:00 = Grey

@cottrera , Create a color measure like

 

Switch(True(),
max([time]) =<time(16,0,0) , "red",
max([time]) >time(16,0,0) && max([time]) =<time(17,0,0), "Green",
max([time]) >time(17,0,0) && max([time]) =<time(18,0,0), "Blue",
"grey"
)

 

use that in conditional formatting with field value option
