Default Text Color Change prompted by different columns

Hello... If I enter text into column "J", is there a formula or conditioning
format that I can use so that when I enter text into one column (say column
J) that this text will prompted 2 other columns to change their text color.
So for example, lets say that I have a list of people and when they leave
the company and they are terminated, when I enter in their termination date
(column J) then their name (column A and B) will change from black text to
red text. I am not sure if this can even be done and if so if it would be a
formula or a conditioning format.

Use conditional formatting with a test of say J2<"".
