More than 3 on Conditional Formatting

Can it be done?

I don't want to have to write a routine in VBA to scan all the cells just to
change the colour.....

i.e. 1 is red 2 is a lighted red, 3 is amber 4 is a ligther amber, and 5
green and 6 a lighter green...

I need some help here guys...

Anyone point me in the right directions...

Regards.

modify one of these. The first one belongs in the SHEET code module.
right click on the sheet tab>view code>insert this>save

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column <> 1 Then Exit Sub
With Target.Interior
Select Case UCase(Target)
Case "ASK"
..ColorIndex = 4
Case "BASK"
..ColorIndex = 6
Case "BID"
..ColorIndex = 8
Case "BBID"
..ColorIndex = 44
Case "TRD"
..ColorIndex = 38
Case Else
..ColorIndex = 0
End Select
End With
End Sub

This one can be anywhere and assigned to a button.

Sub colorcells()
For Each c In Range("a1:a" & Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
With c.Interior
Select Case UCase(c)
Case "ASK"
..ColorIndex = 4
Case "BASK"
..ColorIndex = 6
Case "BID"
..ColorIndex = 8
Case "BBID"
..ColorIndex = 44
Case "TRD"
..ColorIndex = 38
Case Else
..ColorIndex = 0
End Select
End With
Next
End Sub
