Default How do I set up automatic colour fill of a cell prompted by text?

A column in a spreadsheet shows the staus of each project. The cells are
colour coded to clearly show the status eg. Red = Overdue, Green = Complete
etc.. Is it possible to prompt the cell to colour automatically by entered
text eg. Type Overdue and the cell automatically turns red?
