@Sukisen1981, are you on Splunk Enterprise version 6.5 or higher? You color hex code are off but it should still get applied. If you are on 6.5 or higher, you can Edit Panel and then apply custom column color by values directly.
Color code should look like the following.

    <format type="color" field="Category">
      <colorPalette type="map">{"Red":#D93F3C,"Amber":#F7BC38,"Green":#65A637}</colorPalette>
    </format>

If you are on 6.4 or previous version or are using HTML dashboard, you will have to use JavaScript code to apply colors. Get the Splunk Dashboard Examples app (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/) to see the Table Cell Highlighting example for Table cell Color by cell value.

Refer to documentation:

i am on 6.4.1
Note - I have a pie chart also in the dashboard and this works very well-
{"Red":0xd13b3b,"Amber":f7912c, "Green":0x7e9f44}
BUT
when i try applying the same to a stats table it does not colour the rows, the pie chart however takes the colours as specified

The Simple XML Chart configuration charting.fieldColors is applicable on Charts (like Column, bar, pie etc) but not on table. Splunk Dashboard Examples app has two examples to color cell by value or color by row. Please install the app and try them out.

Refer to one of my answers on Similar line to color row based on value. Please try out and confirm.
