we have a formula field with text values rendering based on condition. Do you know if it’s possible to add color background to the text in text formula fields?

I don’t think so, but there’s nothing stopping you defining colour configurations that depend on this field in your views.  
Or as an easy option, use emojis/icons in the text to create a colourful visual distinction:  
✅ Good  
❌ Bad

@Chr1sG emoji is good idea! Could you share documentation for the color config?

I just meant the ‘Colors’ options for tables, boards, lists, timelines and calendars…

Tables have the most effective way of showing colour coding since the latest update
