rating cells 1-5 colour coded HOW?

I would like to be able to give a cell a rating of 1-5 and colour coded but
conditional formatting in excel 2002 only allows up to 3, by using 1 number
as white cell means you can using a rating of 1-4. I required 1-5. I have
tried to use coloured drop down menus but the cell colours do not carry
across.
Therefore can anyone tell me how I can type a number of 1 to 5 in a cell and
that it will also show as a colour.
