There is no built in function to count colours of cells, no formula will do
it. It can be done though using code, have a look at this on Chip Pearsons
site,

Can anyone tell me a formula that will count the number of yellow cells in
a
range.
I used =countif(AV2:HM2,"interior.colorindex = 36"). I don't get a error
message. I get "2", when it shoudl be 3 -- no matter how many yellow cells
there are, I always get "2". What am I doing wrong? sd
