Change Cell Color on Enter

I need some help building a macro that will change a cell color when the user hits "Enter" from inside that cell.

The cell typically contains a formula that calculates growth by a value entered in an adjacent cell. However, I want to allow the user to over-ride the formula with a value of their own choice. I would like to know when this has been done so I was thinking a macro that would change the color of the cell when the user hits " Enter " would be perfect. The cell is normally highlighted yellow. I would like for it to change to red when the user hits enter.

Can anyone here help me with this.

Thank you.

Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
You could use conditional formatting for that with something like
=AND(J1<>"",NOT(ISFORMULA(J1)))
