Does it have to be cell colour, or can you accept just setting different font colours?

| How can I allocate a different color for 5 different cell values?
|
| For example:
| If cell value = 1 then cell color is green
| If cell value = 2 then cell color is blue
| If cell value = 3 then cell color is yellow
| If cell value = 4 then cell color is red
| If cell value = 5 then cell color is magenta
