Ability to apply a graduated color scheme (a la Google Sheets) to a data column

What is the challenge?

We are forced to do a apply a calculated column to bucket data, whereas it would be much simpler to be able to apply a gradient color scheme to a data column. For example "Days Overdue" and it gets progressively more Red as the number gets higher.

What is the impact?

Can lead to a large amount of calculated columns (which need to be maintained) and some very long nested If statements.
