format cells for color

[Guest]

I want to be able to format a cell to turn a cetain color using 10 different
conditions.
For ex.

if cell B1=1 then turn the cell red
if cell B1=2 then turn the cell blue
if cell B1=3 then turn the cell orange
if cell B1=4 then turn the cell yellow

up to 6 more conditions

'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Const WS_RANGE As String = "B1"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case 1: .Interior.ColorIndex = 3 'red
Case 2: .Interior.ColorIndex = 5 'blue
Case 3: .Interior.ColorIndex = 10 'green
Case 4: .Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'yellow
'etc.
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
