Paul,
What you need is called Conditional Formatting, and it is found under the Format menu. Once in conditional formatting, set the criteria for whatever value you want to trigger the color change, i.e. >, <, =, then go to Patterns on that submenu and select whichever color you'd like the cell background to change to.
