I'm, not sure I understand your general problem, but ...

You may find the STYLE() function useful - something like:
=<expression>&T(STYLE(IF(condition;<style-name>;<alternative-style-name>)))
The condition is evaluated and the appropriate style name returned to 
the STYLE() function, which applies that style to the cell. The 
STYLE() function itself returns the value zero; to avoid this being 
appended inappropriately to the result of <expression> (which is what 
you want to see in the cell), the T()function is used. This returns 
an empty string for numerical arguments.

If you want the style to depend on the result of <expression> (i.e. 
the value in the cell itself), you can use something like:
=<expression>&T(STYLE(IF(CURRENT()=<value>;<style-name>;<alternative-style-name>)))

I trust this helps.
