OK I was able to solve this myself:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#tid_css').DataTable({
"iDisplayLength": 100,
"bFilter": false,
"aaSorting": [
[2, "desc"]
],
"fnRowCallback": function(nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull) {
if (aData[2] == "5") {
$('td', nRow).css('background-color', 'Red');
} else if (aData[2] == "4") {
$('td', nRow).css('background-color', 'Orange');
}
}
});
})
