Default how can I conditionally change font color, or background color?

Just use conditional formatting (FormatConditional Formatting) and set the
font colour to red if the cell value is Fail Msg, Blue if Pass Msg.

In a test procedure, I end up with a column where I use CountIf to

determine
if there are any F (for Fail) characters in the column

[=If((CountIf(M25:M95,
"F")=0
("Pass Msg","Fail Msg")). This works OK.
I would like to be able to print the message in red font if it fails, and
blue font if it passes.
I have created a macro that will change the font color, and I can write

VBA
code to do it. I have not figured out how to get the macro or the VBA Code

to
run automatically following the pass/fail test.
Can it be done?
