I have a workbook that's currently a good 60-some sheets deep, and growing larger. Inside of each sheet is a different productivity tracker that has color coded values and I want the tab color to match the highest value on that sheet. I've just been manually changing each sheet to the color I want

I want a cell (C2) on each sheet to dictate the color change for the tab. I've gotten the code I want to work for a single sheet, but I want to apply it to the whole workbook so I don't need to manually add it to each current sheet & the sheets I'll be adding in the future.

This is the code that I currently have working on a single sheet. How can I make it work for all sheets? I'd class myself as fairly new to the more advanced features of Excel, so ELI5 would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Updateby Extendoffice
    If Target.Address = "$C$2" Then
        Select Case Target.Value
        Case "y"
            Me.Tab.Color = vbYellow
        Case "o"
            Me.Tab.ColorIndex = 44
        Case "r"
            Me.Tab.Color = vbRed
        Case "d"
            Me.Tab.Color = RGB(192, 0, 0)
        Case "p"
            Me.Tab.Color = vbMagenta
        Case "pr"
            Me.Tab.Color = RGB(204, 0, 204)
        Case "g"
            Me.Tab.ColorIndex = 16
        Case "b"
            Me.Tab.Color = vbBlack
        End Select
    End If
End Sub

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?

To get your code to work in any sheet within the workbook, you need to add Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange code to the ThisWorkbook code window. Open the VBA editor & double-click on ThisWorkbook in the Project Explorer; copy the following code to the window that appears on the right. Save your file & test.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
    With Sh
        If Not Intersect(Target, Cells(2, 3)) Is Nothing Then
            Application.EnableEvents = False
            Select Case Target.Value
            Case "y"
                Sh.Tab.Color = vbYellow
            Case "o"
                Sh.Tab.ColorIndex = 44
            Case "r"
                Sh.Tab.Color = vbRed
            Case "d"
                Sh.Tab.Color = RGB(192, 0, 0)
            Case "p"
                Sh.Tab.Color = vbMagenta
            Case "pr"
                Sh.Tab.Color = RGB(204, 0, 204)
            Case "g"
                Sh.Tab.ColorIndex = 16
            Case "b"
                Sh.Tab.Color = vbBlack
            End Select
            Application.EnableEvents = True
        End If
    End With
End Sub
