highlighted in red. If date in cell A3 between 1/5/09 to 31/05/09 then

Right click the tab, click View Code, and paste this code into the window
that opens:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim icolor As Integer
Dim d1 As Date
Dim d2 As Date

d1 = CDate("March 1, 2008")
d2 = CDate("January 1, 2009")


If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B1:B10")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target
Case d1 To d2
icolor = 3
Case Else
'Whatever
End Select
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = icolor
End If
End Sub

This is a bit confusing, so clarification required..
your subject title is 'Colors according to the month'
You cite dates 'between 1/1/09 to 31/01/08'; one date is in 2008 the
other in 2009 - is this intended?
From the next bit I can glean that May 2009 dates want to be associated
with yellow. What about May 2008, 2007, 2010? Yellow also?
What colours do you want other months to be?

As a guess, in the code module of the sheet concerned:

Code:
--------------------

  Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2:A25")) Is Nothing Then
  If IsDate(Target.Value) Then
  Target.Offset(, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = Choose(Month(Target.Value), 3, 5, 7, 9, 6, 13, 21, 1, 8, 11, 4, 10)
  Else
  Target.Offset(, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
  End If
  End If
  End If
  End Sub

--------------------

The cell will only change colour as you change/edit the individual
cells.
To establish the colours for a range of dates already in place, you can
select those dates in column A and run this macro:

Code:
--------------------

  Sub blah()
  For Each cll In Selection.Cells
  If IsDate(cll.Value) Then
  cll.Offset(, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = Choose(Month(cll.Value), 3, 5, 7, 9, 6, 13, 21, 1, 8, 11, 4, 10)
  Else
  cll.Offset(, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
  End If
  Next cll
  End Sub

--------------------
The cells in the next column to the right will be highlighted.
The colours are decided by the order of colour indices in the code:
3, 5, 7, 9, 6, 13, 21, 1, 8, 11, 4, 10
from Jan to Dec in that order. Adjust to suit (make them the same in
both macros).
