Conditional formatting macro

[K1KKKA]

Help.


I would like to know if it is possible to have a macro that changes
the colour of a cell dependant on the number or text within.

eg
If the following cells were populated as follows

a1=1 Make the cell Green

=2 Make the cell Red

=3 Make the cell Blue

=4 Make the cell Orange and so on till 7

Is this at all possible ?
I know that i can colour cells 3 times with simple conditional
formatting, but would like to run upto seven different colours.

any help would be appreciated.
