Default when using a formula can I have certain values in red

I want to set an alert in my speadsheets if the number excededs a set value.
I have set the formular for true or false but would like it in red so I can't
miss it.

Use Data Validation with a formula that will evaluate to TRUE. Note the
formula should evaluate to TRUE *NOT* return TRUE eg.

=A1025
