use colorpallette to change color of extremes on a dashboard

I am trying to change the color of a result based on its deviation from zero. the numbers can be both positive and negative. The range I am trying to implement is as follows,
(-10) <- 0 -> 10 should be #ff0000
(-15) <- (-10) and 10->15 should be #ff8c00
<- (-15) and 15-> should be #ff0000
basically any result from 0 to plus/minus 10 should be green, anything between plus/minus 10 and plus/minus15 should be orange and anything past plus/minus 15 should be red.
Is this possible?

@livehybrid, both suggestions look great but I am trying to have a field in a table dynamically change based on the result. So one filed in multiple columns will have different colors based on the results in that field. The idea is to call out the results in red that are >=(+-15).

I think an example of your table is required at this point.

Yes, for example, try something like this:
"visualizations": {
"viz_242vtDn7": {
"context": {
"countColumnFormatEditorConfig": {
"number": {
"thousandSeparated": false,
"unitPosition": "after"
}
},
"countRowColorsEditorConfig": [
{
"to": -15,
"value": "#ff0000"
},
{
"from": -15,
"to": -10,
"value": "#ff8c00"
},
{
"from": -10,
"to": 15,
"value": "#ff0000"
},
{
"from": 15,
"to": 16,
"value": "#ff8c00"
},
{
"from": 16,
"value": "#ff0000"
}
]
},
"dataSources": {
"primary": "ds_zVjhlJmS"
},
"options": {
"columnFormat": {
"count": {
"align": "auto",
"data": "> table | seriesByName(\"count\") | formatByType(countColumnFormatEditorConfig)",
"headerAlign": "auto",
"rowColors": "> table | seriesByName(\"count\") | rangeValue(countRowColorsEditorConfig)",
"textOverflow": "break-word"
}
}
},
"type": "splunk.table"
}
},
