Default formula for if Cell c1 is yellow shaded cell d1 should be yellow

Maybe.

You can use the value in a cell to color a cell (or a row of cells).

Take a look at Format|conditional formatting.

But there's nothing built into excel that will use the color of a cell (font or
fill).

Chip Pearson has some userdefined functions that can return the colorindex (and
you could use that in your conditional formatting):
