Excel formulas based upon the color shading of a cell?

Is there a way to execute a formula in Excel that references the current
color shading of a cell so that I can place a value in a corresponding cell?

Example:

If cell A1 is shaded green the cell A10=8

Try this. Might work

If Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 Then
Range("A10").Value = 8
ElseIf Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 5 Then
Range("A10").Value = 10
ElseIf Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 6 Then
Range("A10").Value = 12
Else
-- -- -- -- --
End If
