There is an example at [https://discourse.nodered.org/t/warp-speed-indicator-changing-background-colour-according-to-payload-value-css-only/57256](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/warp-speed-indicator-changing-background-colour-according-to-payload-value-css-only/57256) showing one way to change the background of a dashboard template according to the input payload.
