public object Convert(object? value, Type targetType, object? parameter, CultureInfo culture)

    if (value == null)
    {
        return Colors.Gray;
    }

    if (value is IConvertible convert)
    {
        var converter = System.Convert.ToDouble(convert, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
        if (converter > 0)
        {
            return Colors.ForestGreen;
        }
        else if (converter < 0)
        {
            return Colors.IndianRed;
        }
        else
