Default Recognize Color and Insert Symbol

Is there any formula to Identify Text color and return symbol character?

I have text colors RED, BLUE and GREEN. These are assigned to different
dates in a column. I need to put a tick mark symbol agaist each in next
column.

RED - 1 Tick
BLUE - 2 Ticks
GREEN - 3 Ticks

Cheers

Che

There is a command called "cell". It could give some formatting info of a
cell but I think it is unable to give the color of the text in cell. You can
check the help for that.
Maybe writing a Macro might be easier than using a formula.

Sub ticks()
For Each cell In ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A100")
With cell.Offset(0, 1)
.Font.Name = "Marlett"
.Font.Size = 12
End With
With cell
Select Case .Interior.ColorIndex
Case 3
With cell.Offset(0, 1)
.Value = "a"
End With
