Pardon my presumption of anm error on your part.

Might it be that you have set the font-color to the desired color and not
the "pattern"?

Spoke too soon. I've tried it the way you said and it doesn't work. What
could I be doing wrong. I clicked on the cell I want colored or not, clicked
on Format-Conditional, entered =k18="yes", clicked on that format button and
entered the color and clicked OK. whether k18 says yes or no, the color
remains white.

Select cell you want format in. Format - Conditional format.
Change first box to "formula is"
Input:
=A1="Frame"
Choose a light green pattern format.

I know this has been answered many times but i can't put my hands on it right
now. How do I color a cell a certain color (codes?) based on the contents of
another cell. For example, if A1="Frame", then I want the cell to be light
green, if not cell remains clear of color.

Thanks,
