Using wild card in table column formating

I want to change the column cell background based on the value, but I also want to use a wild card.

Example Field values

Passed (12:20)

Failure (2:30)

Passed (4:40)

I want to change the cell color based on only Passed and Failure and ignore rest of the string.

Use the colorPalette format option

<format type="color" field="your_field">
<colorPalette type="expression">case(match(value,"^Passed"), "#008000", match(value, "^Failed"), "#F8BE34", true(), "#000")</colorPalette>
</format>
