Change cell color in a cell formula "without conditional"

Hello All
I have come to you to find out if there are any Real hardcore Excel Geeks here!!!!
My situation is, I want to change the color of a cell based on the result of a logic statement. I have no problem with the Logic statement and, I know that everyone recommends using “Conditional”, I just like the personal touch and feel.
So I ask that only replies that specifically answer the question of,
What is the code needed to change cell color (font, size, font color, … ) in a cell formula "without using conditional formatting".
I have search the web awhile ago and had the code, but that Lap Top was stolen.http://www.excelforum.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

Thanking you in advance.

The issue is that the format for cell formulas are different than in a macro, been there done that.
Thanks anyway for the try.

Close but no cigar, I need it in the format of a Cell Formula
If(x=2, -change cell to color red-, -change cell to color white-)
Something like that.
Of course I may not know how to migrate your code into the Cell Formula format, if I am missing that nut, please help.
Thanks for the try.

The result of me logic statement is not in question only the ability to change whatever I wish when a result is given. The basic formula was given in my first past and here again,
Well aBrain fart, it looks like my Code did not make it to my first post so lets try this again

Code =If(x=2(-change color to Red and Font to 18-,if(x=3,change color to blue and Font to 10, change color to white and Font to 12-)) /code

We can start with the current cell and later how to control multiple cells.

To answer why, will it is just part of my nature to dissect whatever is my passion at the time and this is it. I have no ill feelings using Conditional, just I want to learn this method of control.
Thanks.
