Default Color Coding Cells


I am trying to figure out how to color code each cell based upon the
date. If the date in the cell is 3 months or more away then it should
be green, if the date is within the 3 month period then it should be
yellow, if the date is today or later then it should be red. How do I
write a formula that will do this?

Try something similar to this in conditional formatting - Formula is, with
A1 active:

Condition1
=TODAY()-A190

Condition2
=AND(TODAY()-A1<91,TODAY()-A10)

Condition3
=TODAY()-A1<1
