Try using conditional formatting:

Select the cell(s)

Click Format > conditional formatting

Put the settings "Under Condition 1" as :

Formula Is | =TODAY()-A5>=10

Click Format button > Font tab > Color > Red > OK

Click OK

Maybe Format|conditional formatting
then use a "formula is" like:
=A1<TODAY()-10
and give it a nice bold red format.

You can use conditional formatting to flag the date:

Select the cell (e.g. cell A2)
Choose Format>Conditional Formatting
From the first dropdown, chose Formula Is
In the formula box, type: =A2+10<=TODAY()
Click the Format button
On the Patterns tab, select the Red colour
Click OK, click OK

If the date is ten days ago, or earlier, the cell will turn red.
To flag a date that was exactly ten days ago, change the formula to:
=A2+10=TODAY()

Formula Is | =TODAY()-A5>=10

sorry, just to clarify:
the formula given above presumes cell A5 is selected
