How to apply color-measurement to a Matrix?

Hi I want to apply this color-measurement to my matrix. The goal is the change the color of the text inside the matrix based on my DAX measurement. 

My matrix looks like this:

 

My table contains these columns:

My measurement looks like this:

ColorColumn =
IF(
    MAX('matrix_data'[faktuel_vaerdi]) > MAX('matrix_data'[bedste_tal]) && MAX('matrix_data'[faktuel_vaerdi]) > MAX('matrix_data'[average_price]),
    "Green",
    IF(
        MAX('matrix_data'[faktuel_vaerdi]) > MAX('matrix_data'[average_price]),
        "Yellow",
        "Red"
    )
)
But when I apply it, it doesnt change color, it just create another column with the color written out in text.

I found the solution to be 

1. Choose Conditional formatting

2. Formattype = Field value 
3. Based on ColorColumn
