Default Data Validation using a table

I am trying to set up data validation using multiple columns, but not sure
how. Example - trying to limit choices of items sold as tiles, tools,
plants. Under tiles, the choices could be red, grey or black;the tools would
be hammer, saw, screwdriver and plants would be pansies, daisies, tulips.

I believe you're describing dynamic validation. See site for help/guidance.
