Here is a simple solution, use TableCellRenderer as an inner class.

    myTable.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new TableCellRenderer()
    {
        JLabel comp = new JLabel();
        String val;

        @Override
        public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
                             JTable table, 
                             Object value, 
                             boolean isSelected, 
                             boolean hasFocus, 
                             int row, 
                             int column)
        {
            comp.setOpaque(true);
            comp.setForeground(Color.BLACK); // text color

            if (value != null)
            {
                val = value.toString();
                comp.setText(val);

                if (val.equalsIgnoreCase("red"))
                {
                    comp.setBackground(Color.RED);
                }
                else if (val.equalsIgnoreCase("yellow"))
                {
                    comp.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
                }
                else if (val.equalsIgnoreCase("green"))
                {
                    comp.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
                }
                else
                {
                    comp.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
                }
            }
            return comp;
        }
    });
