We can add a format rule that specifies the appearance of my chart based on one or more conditions.
To do this:
Either right click on the field that will be used to define the conditional format rule, click on "add format rule".
Or right click on the scatter chart, and click on "Edit rules".
Example
In the window below you can apply one of the predefined colors or define a custom color for this condition.
In this case, I decide to add a red color when the sales in the world exceed 950. I add a legend ">950" which will be visible on the scatter chart.

Coloring
If the items do not meet the applied condition, Biwee colors these items in light gray.
