Dashboard uses the Angular v1 framework to provide dynamic ui's. You will want to do some reading about that. The ui\_template node lets you set your own Styles and then you can swap between css classes based on data sent from node-red. You could also dynamically set styles as well but classes are usually easier to manage.

I rarely use Dashboard any more and dislike Angular so probably not.
However there are some examples on my blog and in the Node-RED Cookbook that may or may not help.
