List with conditional background colors

[#1]

Hello,

I want to create an object, not sure if a listbox or a straight table, or something else would be better? But I want this list to have specific background colors based on the names of the items in the list. When I select one of the items, I want the background colors of the other items to remain intact. I'm imagining something like this:

List of foods

Apples (bg color red)

Strawberries (bg color red)

Bananas (bg color yellow)

Grapes (bg color purple)

Lettuce (bg color green)

Cucumbers (bg color green)

‌

Is this possible to do? Please help! Thanks!

This is the formula you could use in the background of a table chart... just trying to figure out how best to display it so it doesn't disappear when you select items:

=pick(match(food,'Apples','Bananas','Cucumbers','Grapes','Lettuce','Strawberries'),red(),yellow(),green(),rgb(221,160,221),green(),red())
