Tried this, typed in three formats, clicked ok, cell went red, even though
date in cell should have remained green by 2 years. Would not change back to
green no matter what date was typed in cell

Conditional format the cell with 3 formats.

Cell value - is greater than =A1+59 = Green
Cell value - is greater than =A1+30 = Amber
Cell value - is less than =A1 = red

I want to change background colour in cell acording to the number of days to
a given date. i.e todays date is in cell A1 when other cells are greater than
A1+60days then background is green, when less than A1+30 background is amber,
when A1-1 background is red. How is this done ?
