Default Is it possible to Protect all Cells that are, say, Colored Gray?

Hi Programmers,
I've realized that I need to use data validation to protect formulas
in my worksheets. However, due to the enormity of the workbook, this
would take about the rest of the summer. Also, I don't like to use
the basic cell protection feature because of Excel's pain-in-the-rear
protection popups. I am using Excel 2002. A thought occurred to me--
I've colored all cells that users should not alter with the color
gray. So, is there a way for code to detect this and then not allow
users to alter the contects of the gray-colored cells?
Thanks so much
