You can do this through the menu Format -> Conditional formatting. Use the value 1 to match TRUE and 0 to match FALSE.
OpenOffice 4.1 on Windows 10 and Linux Mint

Welcome to the Forums.
This may sound obvious, but did you look at the STYLE function in the help file?
Please note that you do have to set up your styles in advance to do this.
An alternative is to use a custom number format, so that a positive response is green and a 0 is red.
By default, a TRUE response has a value of 1, and a FALSE response a value of 0
You can get more information about this option by searching the Index of the help file for "number formats;codes" (without the quotation marks)
OpenOffice 4.1.7, LibreOffice 7.0.1.2 on Windows 7 Pro, Ultimate & Windows 10 Home (2004)
