Hello I would like to add to this piece of analysis below to pick up if Cell L6 is coloured red is there a way to do this please?

=IF(E6="","",IF(B6="",TODAY(),E6)-B6)

Thank you in advance
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
If L6 is being filled manually then you will need a macro.
If L6 is being filled by a CF formula, then you can use that formula to determine if L6 is red

Hello than you for your response there is also text in the cells that would say - Extreme (Category 1) (Red Event) and also - Major (category1) (red event)

Can it be pulled by text?

With regard to the formula you posted in your op, how do you want to change it if L6 contains the word "red"?

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("red",L6)),E6<>""),IF(B6="",TODAY(),E6)-B6,"")
