cells (B1:F1) or if I have the value 2 in cell (A1) then colour should change

You can use Conditional Formatting for this.

1. Select cells B1 through F1
2. From the Format Menu, choose "Conditional Formatting..."
3. Change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is"
4. Enter the formula: =$A$1=1
5. Select your format (red)
6. Click the ADD Button
7. Change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is"
8. Enter the formula: =$A$1=2
9. Select your format (green)
10. Click OK
