Default Conditional formatting based on Cell Value and another cell's valu

Hi,

If the color in E3 is random and can be changed you would need to use VBA to
solve the problem of having E5 shaded like E3. But its possible.

In Excel 2007...

If E50 and E3="x" I want E5 to be shaded red.

How can I accomplish this?

Even better would be:

If E50 and E3="x" I want E5 to be shaded "the same color as E3" (that is,
to use the shaading of E3 as a variable. Doubt that's possible).

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
