How to color specific text within a cell

Hi, I am looking for a way to color specific text within a cell, my data within the cell looks something like this:

 

xyz RED xyz xyz xyz

xyz xyz xyz GREEN

 

I want the word 'red' to be colored red,  the word 'green' to be colored green, etc.

 

I keep trying row / column rules within the table tool but can't get the desired effect.

 

Any help appreciated, thank you

I think we can color the cell, but not the different colors in one Cell.

I'm pretty sure it's possible using a formula within the table tool, I just can't find the exact way to do this..

I have replied something for the whole cell but not for part of the cell.
I would love to see how it can be achieved.

Hi, thank you, so this works well!

 

I do have a subsequent issue though which is the line breaks I have within the cells get removed when I use this method, I am guessing it's the table tool itself that does that

@winiarc That is correct, the table tool replaces the new line characters, there are workaround to replace the new line character with <b \>

Can you elaborate please, how would I do that exactly ?
