Select all cells that you want to CF. Say the first one in the
selection is A2. Format Conditional Formatting...

Choose Formula Is:

=TODAY()-A2<3
=(TODAY()-A2=3)*(TODAY()-A2<5)
=TODAY()-A2=5

Use Add to input the 2nd and 3rd formula. Choose the appropriate
format for each.

When you first open the dialog box it has place for one condition. You
change the dropdown that says Cell Value Is to Formula Is. You supply
the first formula. For this condition you click the Format button and
in the patterns tab you choose the color green.

Then you click a button that says add. This creates space for the 2nd
condition. You repeat the procedure w/ the 2nd formula and 2nd format.

Then you click add again and add 3rd formula and condition.
