Here, all 3 colors have the default value set in them. Once we do that, we will see the 3 different color scales with a value range, as shown below. As we can see, in Edit the Rule Description box, there is a Format Style tab available with a drop-down button. For the selected data set, let’s create a new rule for the heat map. We can create a new rule or go ahead with existing rules. It will open the window of the New Formatting Rule window as shown below.

Let’s see a small patch of data and measure the different color scale values as shown below. Values closer to the limit have dark shades, and the values far from the limit have light shades. The mid-value, which is near to 50, is in yellow shades, and the value which is near to 100 is in red shades. This shows that the value which is less than 50 is in green color shades. Once we do that, we will see the heat pattern to all selected color scales, as shown below. Here, we have selected the second option, which is the Red-Yellow-Green color pattern, as shown below. Now from Color Scales, select any color pattern. Once we do that, we will get a drop-down menu list from there, as shown below.
