Default Sum function when the values in an xls are color coded

Hello,

I don't know if this is possible. Can someone tell me if Excel allows you to
use the SUM function to add those values that have been color coded, i.e: add
up only those cells containing values in red, or blue, or green?

So far I haven't been able to find this. I have the feeling conditional
formatting should be able to do this, but I haven't found a way to do so.

Thanks for the help

Angeles
