Manually:
From the Format menu, select Cells
From the Pattern tab, select a colour
Click OK.

Example in VBA:
Sub test()
Range("A1").Interior.Color = vbRed
Range("B1").Interior.Color = RGB(255, 128, 255)
End Sub

You could try recording those manual steps using the macro recorder.

Dear Frank,

Well you got my question in a correct way as I need to change the color
of active cell. But I tried to put the statement you sent to me in the VB
Editor and I saved it with one of the sheets of the workbook. But nothing has
worked....
The colors aren't changing at all.

Hi
do you need this to happen automaically. That is if you change the active
cell this cell should be highlighted?. If yes see:

Dear Frank,

Thanks for the link but I thought that there's something easier instead of
add on.

Best Regards

Ibrahim,

This is what I use

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells.FormatConditions.Delete
With Target.EntireRow
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
With .FormatConditions(1)
With .Borders(xlTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
With .Borders(xlBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
End With
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 20
End With

End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
