One way:

Select Row 1 and enter

CF1: Formula is =AND($A1="Start",$A2="Operation")
Format1: Green

CF2: Formula is =AND($A1="Stop",$A2="Operation")
Format2: Red

CF3: Formula is =COUNTA($A1:$A2)=2
Format3: Blue

If the last condition is really a normal cell format, disregard it and
format it directly as blue.

Note that you said you conditions were "based on a text that are in 2
different cells in the same row". However, your examples were for 2
cells in the same column and different rows. The above formulae are
consistent with your examples.

I'm looking for a condtional formatting formula based on 2 conditions. The
conditions are based on a text that are in 2 different cells in the same row.
For example: if A1 contains "Start" and A2 contains "Operation" I want row 1
green; if if A1 contains "Stop" and A2 contains "Operation" I want row 1 red.
A1 and A2 contain drop down list. All other combinations should give the
rows blue.
This last condition is a normal cell format. At least 15 columns in the
speadsheet.

Has someone an idea solve the problem?
Thank you for any suggestion
