Colorize words

I am trying to create a field where the words are colorized based on day of week.

FIELD NAME: [SKIM DATE COLOR] equals FIELD NAME: [SKIM DATE DAY]
FIELD TYPE: RICH TEXT FORMULA

Then, I want the this date field to have the words (for example(Friday, May 13)) to be colored based on the day of the week.
