How to set cell-color according to cell-value on ooo-calc?

I can change the style of a cell using conditional formatting. But there I would be limited to a maximum of 3 cases it can handle.

What I want to do is to get the value of a cell, convert it in a certain way and set the result as the cells background-color.

The simplest example would be cells with values between 0 and 10, resulting in gray-steps between white and black.

Is this possible? Are there ways to set the background-color of a cell automatically?

Thx!
