I have a scripted field that I need to use the color scripted for more than 13 minutes, but this field comes in seconds I want to use the format in 00:00:00 as well, since if i use the color format, I cannot use the number formatting, any suggestions?

Hi @kimari ,

unfortunately, I think at the time it's not possible, but this custom formatting will be released in 8.9 where it will be ([[Lens] Add custom formatter within the Lens editor by dej611 · Pull Request #158468 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/158468)) - you will be able to color number by value and then format it as a date/duration.  
Sorry I cannot help more.
