Add separate colors to values in drop down list

[vlwilburn]

How would I associate separate colors to each of the values in my drop down
list so that when I choose the value, the color shows for the selection?
In process (yellow); Completed (green), Never Started (Red), Follow Up (Blue).
Thank you in advance.

Use conditional formatting. See

Thank you, this site truly helped and will be helpful in the future with
another project. Appreciate your quick response.

One thing I did forget to ask. In a drop down list like this I know you can
have more than three, but is there a way of overriding the Conditional
Formating to add more conditions, i.e. (4 or 5)?

You can either us VBA or this
