Hi Robert,
use conditional formation, where the formula is and there you enter ="Stop"
and choose the red color, then enter another formula which will be
="Go" and choose the color green

OPPs I didn't include the cell
Suppose the cell that contains Stop and Go is A1 so the formulas will be

A1="Stop" red color
A1="Go" Green color
