Default 2 different INDIRECT data validation lists from one

Is there a way to get 2 different INDIRECT data validation lists from one
main validation?

ie. cell A1 has a data validation list of silver,gold,red,blue.

If cell A1 is "silver", I want an INDIRECT data validation list with
1,2,3,4,5 in cell B1

If cell A1 is "silver", I want an INDIRECT data validation with
Mats,Owen,Joe,Alex,Ed in C1.

Thanks,

Joe

Default 2 different INDIRECT data validation lists from one

I'm not sure if i'm misreading the instruction on the webpage, but i can't
seem to get it to work. I have two different cells (c1 and c2) with their
own unique list that depends strictly on a third cell ( a1).

a1 has these choices: red, white, and blue.

If red is chosen, then we we'll get for cell c1 (david, joe, or bob) and c2
( california, nevada, or new york).

if color white is chosen, then we'll get for cell c1 (john, michael) and c2
(montana, oregon, or taxes).

etc...
