Its not completely clear what you're asking. Do you want the text to be colored? Can you describe your goal more precisely?

You can drag that same dimension on the Color mark in the Marks area, which by default is displayed below filters, right to the Data area.
To change the colors that Tableau assigns by default you can click on the Color mark and use "Select Colors": it will open a window where you can select the color you want for each value of the dimension you're using.
Edit
Unfortunately you cannot color the background of a dimension axis. You can achieve the same result with a trick though:
- Drag the dimension to rows
- Double-click in columns and write
MIN(1)
- From the marks dropdown, make sure
Baris selected - Drag the dimension to the
Colormark - Drag the dimension to the
Labelmark - From the
Labelmark, set the horizontal alignment to either left or center - From the
Labelmark, mark the flag to allow labels to overlap other marks - From the
Sizemark, crank the size all the way up - Right-click on the dimension from the rows area and unselect Show Header
- Right click on the
MIN(1)axis below the graph, click Edit Axis, select Fixed among the Range options and fix start and end to 0 and 1 respectively - Right click on the
MIN(1)from the columns area and unselect Show Header
Of course adjustments can be made to better suit your needs, but this should give you an idea of the whole process.

Its not completely clear what you're asking. Do you want the text to be colored? Can you describe your goal more precisely?
