library(formattable)
# mtcars (mpg background in gradient: the higher, the redder)
as.htmlwidget(
  formattable(mtcars, list(mpg = formatter("span",
   style = x ~ style(display = "block",
   "border-radius" = "4px",
   "padding-right" = "4px",
   color = "white",
   "background-color" = rgb(x/max(x), 0, 0))))
