Default Change cell color for valid if statement

Welcome to the world of conditional formats!

The formula in the cell will be:
=IF(A61,"black","")

With the cell selected, goto Format - Conditional format.
"Cell value is", "equal to", black
Hit the format button, and choose appropriate font/pattern color.

Alternatively, if you don't need the word black to appear in the cell, your
conditional format would be:
"Formula is", =A61

For more help/guidance, check out the XL help file on conditional formatting.
