Based on a cell value from a drop down box, how can you make a range of cells
to change background color?

Use the cell the box is linked to in your conditional formatting formula.
If your box is tied to, say, A1, make sure the conditional formula is like:

=$A$1="value"

value is whatever will be selected in the box.

Then set the background color.
