Color in an IF statement

[Guest]

I want to include making text a certain color in my true and false actions of my IF statement. Can I do this? If so, how
=IF(D6>D5,"Overdue","") I want Overdue to be RED.

It is imperative that the patches provided by Microsoft in its April

believed that the likelihood of a worm being released SOON that
exploits one of the vulnerabilities addressed by these patches is VERY
HIGH.
