Default Conditional Formating with a formula referencing other cells

Can you help me again.

How would I write the formula to change the color of a cell?

=if B2= ALATAX, then make C2, background color ORANGE, if B2=CROCKER, make
C2 background color PURPLE, if B2=STATE, make C2 background color BLUE.

This color thing is boggling my mind. I'm learning but slowly. I've pull
up several items from the help - Creating conditional formatting but I'm
still confused. Would I use "MOD" ?

Thanks for your help.
