Hit ALT+ F11 and cop and paste Gord's code into the white space on the right
hand side of the window that appears. Hit save and close out of that window.
Now, if A1 contains something other than "Hello" you will see the tab color
for that sheet1 change.

Change the cell and sheet reference as appropriate for your sitatuation.

You cannot use CF to change a Tab color.

You would need VBA.

Either event code or just a macro.

Sub test()
If Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Value < "hello" Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Tab.ColorIndex = 6
Else
Sheets("Sheet1").Tab.ColorIndex = -4142
End If
End Sub
