Candlestick color change based on % from open

Hey all,
I wanted to know if anyone can share a script that changes each candle color based on % from the open of that candle.
For example:
I want this to work on a 1-minute chart. Say the candle opened at $15. And it jumps to 15.75 a 5% increase, at that point I want the candle to be a certain color. And so on for different percentages.
Thank you in advance for any help on this.

This might help. Just add more inputs and colors as wanted.
