Merging data into a KML File - California Zip Code Heat Map

I work for an insurance company and am mapping return on investment data onto google maps. What I am attempting to do is color a zip code map of the state of california according to a heat map of ROI data. The higher success in the zip the hotter the color. I have a KML file that I constructed from Census data that has shape layers for every zip code. The \[code\]<name>\[/code\] being the zip code, and the \[code\]<styleURL>\[/code\] will map to a color being #A - #I from hot to cold. The default style being #empty, for no data. I have an excel table with 2 columns, Zip Code, and Color Code. What program could I use to merge the data in my excel table to the Placemarks in my KML file? I tried playing with the KML file in Excel, and managed to line my data up alongside the Placemarks but realized Excel cant export that data anyway...Any suggestions?
