PowerShell formatting custom objects with the format.ps1.xml file

I have created a custom object and created a generic view in the ps1.xml file and it formats great, I would like to add color to the output. How would I go about adding color to the output in the ps1.xml file. For example my output is a simple table in which one column has a status output for cloud servers. I would like the output to display white for active, red for stopped, yellow for rebooting etc. I am guessing it would take a but I have not yet found any examples or articles detailing the use of it for color in the ps1.xml file.

Any help would be appreciated.
