This feature in XL is called "Conditional Formatting".

Look it up in the Help files, and post back if you need help.

Click on Format/Conditional Formatting on Excel's menubar. For evaluation a
formula as TRUE, click the first combo box and pick "Formula Is" from its
drop down; type your formula (with the leading equal sign) in the type in
field; then click the Format button; select the Patterns tab and pick your
cell color; finally, OK your way back to the worksheet.
