Where to begin...

WIth reference to your first formula, that formula will return "BLACK" for
any value less than 1 (that is, <1).. any number more than 1 and you'll get
"GREEN" or "Brightgreen".. you either have the signs or the order mixed up.

You cannot change colors like that. If you want to change colors, see
conditional formatting under online help (F1).

I have the following formula in a cell:
=IF(Q28<0.65,"BLACK",IF(Q28<0.85,"RED",IF(Q28<1,"Y ELLOW","GREEN")))
I am attempting to change the color of Green to Bright Green. I assumed
changing the formula to:
=IF(Q28<0.65,"BLACK",IF(Q28<0.85,"RED",IF(Q28<1,"Y ELLOW","BRIGHTGREEN")))
would work but in changing the formula resulted in a Black filled cell not
bright green.

If some one could advise how to change to a different color it would be
appreciated.
