Default set conditional traffic lights depending on adjacent cell value

Try Conditional Formatting using Formula Is, with the CF formulas pointing to
the particular col's value using the "$" sign

Eg, Supposing col A is to be formatted based on col B values
Select col A (A1 active), then apply the CF as, say:
Cond1: =$B1<1
Format: red
Cond2: =and($B1=1,$B1<5)
Format: amber
Cond3: =$B=5
Format: green
Ok out, then test it ..

I want to set coloured traffic lights to highlight key results.
Please can some one tell me where I might find ideas as I can find no way to
copy text colours or change fonts as I copy from cell to cell
