Default Conditional formatting

Is it possible to conditional format for specific terms within a cell.

e.g. the addition a letter or letters to a number will change the colour of
the cell.

1A = Red
10B = Yellow
100AB = orange.

E.g.
Formula for conditions:
=LEN(cellref)=2
1A = Red

=LEN(cellref)=3
10B = Yellow

=LEN(cellref)3
100AB = orange.

Is it just the letter that determines the colour, e.g. any cell ending "AB"
should be orange?

If so use these conditions

1 =RIGHT(A1,2)="AB"
orange

2 =RIGHT(A1)="B"
yellow

3 =RIGHT(A1)="A"
red
