Default can a formula add color based on a date and time?

column a is a list of companies. column b is formatted in yellow and contains
different dates down the column based on criteria in an existing formula. i
want column c to shade red automatically based on the date in column b once
time has hit/passed 5:01pm. id like it to add column b's date and 17:01 in
column c based on the company name in column a.
for example, todays date is 8/29/2006.
a1 is macys. b1 is 8/29/2006 (formatted yellow). c1 would be 8/29/2006 17:01
(formatted automatically by the formula to RED after system time passes 17:01)
different companies will have different times that affect when column c
turns red.
thanks in advance for any help.
