Hi Niclas,
You can do that with another technique along with the Conditional Formatting.
After you finish the previous steps and apply the colors to the numbers:
- Select the range of numbers.
- Click Ctrl+1 to open the Format Cells dialog box.
- From the Number tab, select Custom category.
- In the Type box, type double quotation mark twice "" and then hit OK.

Hi Niclas,
Welcome to Microsoft Excel Community!
There is a powerful tool in Excel called (Conditional Formatting), through this tool you can achieve what you asking for in the following steps:
- Select the range (for example A1:B5) that you want to assign the colors to it.
- Go to Home >> Styles >> Conditional Formatting >> Highlight Cells Rules >> Equal To.
- In Equal To dialog box put the number and assign the color that you want to it, then click OK.
- Do the same steps for each number.
I hope this helps you
