Specify Color in Flow Map based on Measure values

Hi
I have been using a flow Map in my dashboard.
I created a measure that shows the deviation between my actual and plan values:

 

If Actual-Plan>0 -> The lane is classified as "Low Risk".
If -0.01<actual-plan<0 -=""> The lane is classified as "Medium Risk".
if Actual-Plan<-0,01-> the lane is classified as "High Risk".

 

Dax: 

Actual/Traget-Flowmap = var actual_target=CALCULATE([Performance-OnTime]-average('Tradelane Reports (Donnerstagsdaten)'[Target Value]))
return if (actual_target>=0,"Low Risk",if(actual_target<0 && actual_target>=-0.01,"Intermediate Risk",if(actual_target<-0.01,"High Risk")))

 

Based on these three categories, I would like to set these colors:

Lane with "Low Risk" in "Green".
Lanes with "Medium risk" in "Yellow
Lanes with "high risk" in "red

 

Surprisingly, it is not possible to set the color individually

When I choose the "Auto fill" option, the colors are randomly selected, which are not the colors I need. Could you please help me to find a solution

Try creating a new column, not a new measure.
