Based on a cell value from a drop down box, how can you make a range of cells
to change background color?

In excel change color of a range of cells based on a cell value
 

Use the cell the box is linked to in your conditional formatting formula.
If your box is tied to, say, A1, make sure the conditional formula is like:

=$A$1="value"

value is whatever will be selected in the box.

Then set the background color.
