I have a column of cells that contain the start dates of weeks starting with 1-Oct-12 all the way out to 30-Dec-13. I want to change the colors of the cells so that all of each month have one color.

Assuming data is in A2:A1000, select range
Conditional Formatting> New Rule> Use formula
=AND(ISNUMBER(A2), MONTH(A2)=1) Format for January
repeat form 2, 3,...12
Does that make sense?

If it's the same text format all the way down (dd-mmm-yy) you could use a formula for the formatting, one per month
Where B2 is a cell you want formatted, create a conditional format with the following
=(LEFT(RIGHT(TEXT(B2,"mmm"),6),3))="Oct"
Make one for each month with different colors, copy the formatting down the data
This is probably not the best way to do this, but it seems to work!
