PHP can’t read JavaScript variables – that’s because they are simply not available at the point that PHP is run.
So, in this case, you are better staying with pure JavaScript to accomplish what is really a UI challenge – it will also make your code cleaner and better organised.
Here is a basic ( untested ) solution:
<script>
$( function() {
color="red"; // default ##
if ( '7' >= reviewsOverall ){
color="blue";
} elseif ( '7' < reviewsOverall ){
color="pink";
}
$('.rwp-users-score').css('background-color', color );
});
</script>
This script could be added inline on the template or added to a scripts.js file and included using wp_enqueue_script()
