Conditional Formatting

Handy little generator to help give tables some color.

Demo Table

Here’s a demo of how the dynamic conditional formatting works. As you change the Mask Color, the relevant color applies to the Name column. Give it a try! For a really easy-to-use implementation, check out the
Conditional Formatting Formula Generator
⁠
table below.
💡 There’s also a (badly edited - sorry) Video Guide available (pink button on the right of the CFFG table below)

I need extra colors!

Eight colors not enough? Click this button to generate “in-between” color stops automatically.
What’s great is that you won’t have to alter any existing Conditional Formatting rules.
