Conditional formatting based on another value

Hello,

I have the following measure:

 

Total SA WIP > 2 days = 
    CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Service Appointment'),
        'Service Appointment'[IsWIP]=1,
        'Service Appointment'[WIP Days] >2)

 

Which looks like this when added to my matrix:

I have a requirement to apply conditional formatting, but, the rag threshold will change depending on the Region. 

For all regions except NAM, the rag groups will be '> 50' (red), '10 - 50' (amber) and '< 10' (green)

For NAM, the rag groups will be '> 150' (red), '30 - 150' (amber) and '< 30' (green)

How can I achieve this?

@JimJim , Create a color measure as the given example and use it in conditional format with the field value option

Color?
switch ( true(),
FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[commodity],"NA") á"commodity1" && sum('Table'[Value]) >500,"lightgreen",
FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[commodity],"NA") á"commodity2" && sum('Table'[Value]) >1000,"lightgreen",
Add more conditions
"Nice stay"
)

Just in case anyone is interested, here is the finished measure:

Colour = 
IF (
    FIRSTNONBLANK ( Location[Region], "NA" ) = "NAM",
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        'Key Measures'[Total SA WIP > 2 days] < 30, "lightgreen",
        'Key Measures'[Total SA WIP > 2 days] <= 150, "orange",
        "red"
    ),
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        'Key Measures'[Total SA WIP > 2 days] < 10, "lightgreen",
        'Key Measures'[Total SA WIP > 2 days] <= 50, "orange",
        "red"
    )
)
