I trying to use a formula to find Duplicates Entries in a Single Column. I

Default Duplicates

Let me Clarify The Item may be listed several times. Possible 12 times.
Such as
Blue
Red
Blue
Yellow
Blue
Green
Blue

So I would need to know every time Blue shows up. My goal is to delete all
but one of the Items.

Assuming that your first Blue entry is in A2, put this formula in another
cell on row 2
=COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)
and fill the formula down the list. At the 1st entry for any value in
column A the value will be 1. Then you filter on that column to display
entries with a value of 1 and copy the displayed information to another
sheet, which will give you a list of unique entries.
