Check the web repo for examples. For the tree view search for "color" there. Here are a couple:

• https://github.com/OCA/web/tree/9.0/web_context_in_colors
• https://github.com/OCA/web/tree/9.0/web_tree_dynamic_colored_field

The approach is the same: you override/extend the class of the widget via JS, like here, no matter if is a list/tree view or a form view.

This one for instance acts on form view. As you see, is plenty of examples. Still, you should provide more info on what you are trying to achieve.

Last but not least, read the official docs about javascript and check stack overflow for existing answers.
