Default Conditional Format

Hello,

I would like to set a conditional format to color each unique value a
different color. It will also be applied to multiple occurences of the value.
The problem is that the values are dynamic and may not always be the same
number of occurences, in the same cell, etc. I have used the formula
IF(ISNUMBER(COUNTIF($F$3:F3,F3)),ROW(),"")) to try to identify the occurences
but creating a conditional format has proven out of my league! The way the
spreadsheet is designed, the probability of more than 4 IDs being used at any
given time is slim, so the next time IDs are input, they can use the same
four colors because they will replace the previous IDs. I'm just not sure how
to word the conditional format to identify which values are repeating and
which are unique and color appropriately.

Please help!
And thanks!!
