Default Any formula to count number of cells with a specific color pat

This function should give you what you want:
Sub countcolor()
Dim rng As Range
Dim cnt As Long

Set rng = Range("A1:E12")
cnt = 0
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Then
cnt = cnt + 1
End If
Next
MsgBox cnt
'or Range("K2").Value = cnt
Range("G1").Value = cnt
End Sub

Notice, it is set up to count the number of cells that are colored red:
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3

Look here for other Excel color IDs:
