    May I know if it is possible to have the conditional formatting follows the format of the source for data validation. Example: I have in A1 a data validation following a list in range B1:B5. B1 text is "Blue" and formatted in Blue. So when I choose Blue from the drop down list in A1, how do I make the A1 format follows blue of B1?
