Several times I have wanted to have the results in a cell be different colors based on testing the value in the cell but I've never been able to do it except for a negative result being red and a positive result being black.
You can put endless conditional formats on a given cell... couldn't you just manually set the colors to match whatever value is in the cell by adding rules? You could also use the color scale option in the conditional formatting table

Have you tried the conditional formatting? What issues did you run into?
Have you tried mrexcel.com?

Easy way:
Link the values from each sheet to the other sheets then use the appropriate color scale conditional formatting. Hide the values linked from the other sheets. Done?
In the conditional formatting dialogue, it appears that conditional formatting is sheet specific, so in order to do this another way, you are going to have to pull everything to the reference sheet.
I kind of agree that this seems easy, but you could be over simplifying your issue.
ETA:
If the values are set, you can also use "Format all cells based on their values" set the lowest value to 1 and highest to 4, pick the colors and paste the formats to all of your C9s.
