simple indicator shape - color depends on value

I just need a simple indicator shape - color depends on value.  E.g. A circle that is either red, yellow, or green depending on the value of a data point (and assign color to number ranges).     I can't seem to find a visual that does it.  I've tried playing with a Pie chart, and a Scatter diagram, and Gauge.

I went with using "Card with States by OKViz".   It's not exactly a "simple shape", but it meets the need of showing green/yellow/red background based on ranges.

A workaround is given here -

Another one I have used in the past is a bubble chart (and the bubble color would be based out of a column which will be Red, Yellow or Green). Personally, the easy way is to do images like in the post above. But let me know if that is not enough and I can try to explain the bubble chart one. Would be more complex though.
