Default Setting text as a background in cell

Hello everyone,

I have a cell that is shaded gray and within that cell I want text set as a
background such as the word "switch". I want to be able to enter data over
the word "switch" while still seeing it in the background, but of course have
the data typed in the cell appear prominate. How do I go about doing this?

Thank you,
Brian
