Default More than 3 Conditions???

I currently have 3 conditions for a column of cells, as an example;
Condition 1 Format is Red =OR(B10=2,AE10="Yes") AE10 is 'Yes/No' dropdown
Condition 2 Format is 'No Colour' =AE10="No"
Condition 3 Format is 'Green' =B10=1
I need Condition 4 to be 'Orange' with the formula as =B10=2
I have '=COUNTA(AC7,AD7,AE7,AH7)' in column B.
Can anyone help?

Can you not ignore condition 2? Format the column as no color. Then, if
AE10="No", it wouldn't change, so no need for that conditional format, and
you'd have 3 to use.

Please note, you can only have 3 conditions, so there is no way to perform a
4th.

Try
cond1 =B10=1
cond2 =B10=3
cond3 =AND(B10=2,AE10="Yes")

You will get the default color if AE10 is "No" or has a value other than 1,
2 or 3.
