Default Conditional Formatting

I have 2 Cells that will have text in it.
The 1st cell (E3) will have numbers and letter entered into it.
The 2nd cell (G3) will have a data validation with 3 options (Pending, Won,
and Lost).
I want the color of the text in cell E3 to change based on the selection of
G3.
So if Pending is selected in G3 then I want E3 to have Blue text.
If Lost is selected in G3 then I want E3 to have Red Text
If Won is selected in G3 then I want E3 to have Green Text.

Please Advise how I go about this.
Thanks in Advance,
Travis

Default Conditional Formatting

on E3, do a Format/Conditional Rormatting, and instead of cell value is,
change it to formula is and make the formula =g3="Pending" and format it
whatever, then add the other two conditions
