Format cells inside table

Hello, this is my first post to this list, so i hope i do it right.

I try to create a table in reportlab.

data = [
  ['Firstname', 'Lastname', 'Points'],
  ['Jakob', 'Møller', '5'],
  ['Anna', 'Møller', '10'],
etc...
]

I want to format cell in colors based on result.
F.ex:
if points > 5:
  cell_color = "green"
elif point < 5:
  cell_color = "red"
else:
  cell_color = "yellow"

I have looked at this:

But as i understand it, the color is defined on coordinates. Cant i assign
a color when i create "data" ?
