Color a word in a field/Splunk Result

I have a Splunk query:

 

index=my_index cf_app_name=$app_name$ msg!="*Hikari*" $log_type$ | sort -_time | table msg

 

It populates Splunk with results. 

Now, the msg field has log_type as INFO, ERROR, WARNING. Example:

 

2021-11-17 15:03:34.921  INFO 22 --- [ taskExecutor-1] c.c.p.r.e.EventService            : Event sent to event ID: 2111 - REPRICING has finished

2021-11-16 22:23:54.905 ERROR 22 --- [ taskExecutor-1] c.c.p.r.service.SftpService           : Could not delete file: /-/PCS.P.KSZ4750J.TRIG.FILE - 4: Failure

2021-11-16 22:23:54.905 WARNING 22 --- [ taskExecutor-1] c.c.p.r.service.SftpService           : Could not delete file: /-/PCS.P.KSZ4750J.TRIG.FILE - 4: Failure

 

Now, My goals is to COLOR the log_type field in the "msg" to Green if it's INFO, Red if it's ERROR, and Yellow if it's WARNING. 

I don't want to color the entire msg field, just the words INFO, ERROR and WARNING should be turned to those specific colors.

Assuming you are using the standard table viz, this is not possible; you would need to split the message up into different fields and then just colour the field with the log type in.
