This would still be conditional formatting. In this case, Select your target
cell, change condition 1 to Formula Is and add a formula of say =A1=17,
select the pattern tab and choose the colour.

Hi
could be also done using conditional formating. An example: Say you
want to color cell B1 if cell A1 equals to 5:
- select cell B1
- goto 'format - Conditional Format' and enter the formula
=A1=5
- choose your format
