Change Cell Colors with each change of a drop down list value

[Wolfster63]

I am trying to modify a status board for our hospital operating room that will enable whoever is updating the board to change the color of cells according to a value selected from a drop down box.

Unfortunately, I can't use conditional formatting hence the VBA route. I have be experimenting with some code as follows:

Sub ColorMeElmo()
Dim i As Long, r1 As Range, r2 As Range
For i = 2 To 15
Set r1 = Range("D" & i)
Set r2 = Range("A" & i & ":C" & i)
If r1.Value = "Turn Over" Then r2.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 51)
If r1.Value = "Closing" Then r2.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 153, 0)
If r1.Value = "In OR" Then r2.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 0)
If r1.Value = "Ready" Then r2.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
If r1.Value = "Done" Then r2.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
If r1.Value = "Done" Then r2.Font.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
Next i
End Sub


I need the code to execute each time a different value is selected from the drop down list. Right now, it only executes when the sheet is loaded.

I am not that proficient with VBA. I am hoping this could be a really simple fix.

Thanks in advance,

Will
