@Anonymous , You use conditional formatting and colo divergence. Or you set other values.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-conditional-table-formatting

Or you can create a color measure based on values of your dimension and use that  after choosing "field" in color formatting

 

Like these

Color Year = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Year],2014) <=2016,"lightgreen",if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Year],2014)>2018,"red","yellow"))

Color = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Year],2014) <=2016 && AVERAGE(Sales[Sales Amount])<170
,"lightgreen",if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Year],2014)>2018,"red","yellow"))
Color sales = if([Sales Today] -[sales yesterday]>0,"green","red")
