i would like to color the table text

Domo's ability to color text in cells is pretty limited. But you can work around it. One way would be to use an HTML table with custom formatting.

This thread may give some insight:

I believe you can also do the following:

<p style="color: 

    {{#if (condition)}} 

        red; 

    {{else}} 

        green; 

    {{/if}}">

    Your conditional text here

</p>

<p style="color: {{#if (data > 50)}} green; {{else}} red; {{/if}}">

    Your metric value is: {{data}}
