It wouldn't be too difficult to write a macro to loop through a range
of cells and count the number of red and blue cells. I am not sure if
you would want to just count red and blue and put the numbers in
specific cells, or keep track of all the colors that are present.

If there is some explainable logic as to why the cells that are red
are red and why the cells that are blue are blue, you may find it more
beneficial to make the cell font turn red or blue through the use of
conditional formatting and do your counting with the same logic in a
cell on the spreadsheet as you have in the "formula" in each of your
conditional format conditions. That would effectively count the red
and blue cells, with out the need for a macro; and it could save some
time in adjusting the font.

Good luck
