I try to make a very simple chart with Apple Numbers or Pages.
I could find how to make complex charts here:

I want something much simpler. Just 4 areas, 4 colors. In the horizontal: first and second. In the vertical low and hight.
How can I do that with Numbers and export to Pages?
Thank you!

Are you looking for something roughly similar to this this?
I selected columns B and C in the table and then Insert > Chart > 2D scatter.
To get horizontal and vertical lines click the chart and in the Axis tab at the right Add Reference Line. Do that for both the Value (X) and Value (Y). And uncheck Show Name: and Show Value:
Unfortunately is is not so easy to get four different colors or text labels for each of the points, though you can show the numerical values, as I have here.
As for exporting to Pages, just select the chart, command-c to copy, click in Pages, and command-v to paste.

Ah, you can make a chart like that with a 3 x 3 table:
I just dragged the cells to be tall enough, and centered the text. Takes about 2 minutes.

Can you provide a 'hand built' sample of a data table and the chart you want to produce? I'm having difficulty picturing the chart.

An example is the famous four quadrants of Steve Jobs. Just Google it.
Thank you.
I am looking for something much simpler. A good example are the famous four quadrants of Steve Jobs. You can google it to see many examples.
You want four cells with words in them? Why do you want to do this in Numbers? Are there any formulas involved?
It does not to be Numbers. Could be Pages? What software would you recommend?
I can have words in the cells or just colors. It does not matter. The question is to communicate the concept.
If you plan on exporting it to Pages, you might as well just make it in Pages. Simply insert a table in a Pages document and do what SGIII showed. It is exactly the same.
