Dashboards & Visualizations

Add Color to Specific Text within a Field?

I'm creating a ServiceNow Dashboard in Splunk, and there is a particular column called "dv_priority" that I'd like to assign a color code to.  For example, their are four values assigned to dv_priority field, it's either going to "1 - Critical" ,  "2 - High" , "3 - Moderate" , "4 - Low", "5 - Informational"

 
I'd like to color code these values, for example "1 - Critical" (Red), "2 - High" (Orange), "3 - Moderate" (Yellow) and "4 - Low" (Purple) and "5 - Informational" (Green).

What would be the best approach SPL-wise in doing this with the below query?

 

 

index=servicenow sourcetype=* NOT dv_state IN("Closed", "Resolved", "Cancelled")
| eval dv_number = if(isnull(dv_number), task_effective_number, dv_number)
       | eval dv_number = if((isnull(dv_number) OR len('dv_number') == 0), DV_NUMBER, dv_number)
       | eval number = if((isnull(number) OR len('number') == 0), dv_number, number)
       | eval number = if((isnull(number) OR len('number') == 0), NUMBER, number)
       | eval number = if((isnull(number) OR len('number') == 0), "Error", number)
       | eval number = if(number!=dv_number, dv_number, number)
       | eval dv_u_subcategory = if((isnull(dv_u_subcategory) OR len('dv_u_subcetegory') == 0), DV_U_SUBCATEGORY, dv_u_subcategory)
