Default changing cell background colors with formulas

Can someone help me to write a formula to change cell background colors based
on a date.
I have created a training spreadsheet to inform me when individuals are due
for training. At my last job, I created the same spreadsheet but now I cannot
remember the formulas I used.
The cells would remain green if training was in toloerance, turn yellow when
training due date was 30 days out and turn red when the due date passed.
I used a nested if function for the dates but can't remember how to change
the colors.
