Default "IF" function, have the facility to place a colour in the cell

You can use Format | Conditional Formatting to change a number of
formatting features (foreground/background colour, font etc) depending
on some condition.

Hope this helps.

My suggestion is that when using the "IF" function there should be the
opportunity to colour a cell with green, if true, or red, if false. This can
serve to highlight or draw attention to the the outcome, even better if the
cell "flashes" the colour.
