Try conditional formatting, FormatConditional Formatting. It will handle 3
colours.

I am currently working on a template for a coworker that allows them to
quickly see which products need to be ordered now, soon, or not in the
forseeable future. I have been able to get to the point where the macro
will
tell them to "order now", "order soon", or "out of stock". I would like to
be
able to highlight the different categories in different colours (i.e.
yellow
for "order soon", red for "order now", and some other colour for "out of
stock".

Any help is greatly appreciated.
