Changing Tabulator cell color through cell formatter is removing the value displayed

I'm trying to change the color of a tabulator cell based on the input of the cell. My first step was to just simply try and change the color of the cell. Run the following code, I see the following

function testFormatter(cell, formatterParams) {

    cell.getElement().style.backgroundColor = "#A6A6DF";

}

Here is what my table looks like after using the cell formatter

I apologize if I get back to you late. This is my first StackOverflow post and I don't know how long replies usually take to come in.

For all cells:

    formatter: function (cell) {
        let val = cell.getValue();
        let el = cell.getElement();

        el.style.backgroundColor = "#A6A6DF";

        return val;
    }

For a cell that math condition:

    formatter: function (cell) {
        let val = cell.getValue();
        let el = cell.getElement();

        if (val == "some text") {
            el.style.backgroundColor = "#A6A6DF";
        }

        return val;
    }

I figured out the solution. The documentation doesn't say it, but custom formatters HAVE to return a value in some way, shape or form.

So the code to rectify the issue would simply be the following:

function testFormatter(cell, formatterParams) {
    var bvid = cell.getValue();
    cell.getElement().style.backgroundColor = "#A6A6DF";
    return bvid
}
