    VBA. Change cell interior colour for greater visibility

    Hi I'm not sure if its even possible to have a macro that I'm after but here we go.
    In column E (last row as per col E), I have some order numbers as below:

    before
    
    Orders
    104151034
    104151042
    200053133
    200053133
    200154048
    200154048
    200154049
    200154046
    200143380
    200144746
    200144746
    200144746
    200145035
    200145035
    200145035
    200145060
    200145060
    200145060
    200147188
    200147188
    200154047
    200143013
    200143013
    200143013
    As you can notice some of the order numbers are repeated. This is normal on my spreadsheet. If there are repeated numbers they normally are all in straight order and aren't scattered. Lets say order 200053133. As you can see one is on row 4 while next one follows on row 5. So normally they won't be scattered around like one is on row 4 and next time its on row 25, etc. This should be the case 100% of the time. Now what I would like to achieve is that there would be 2 different colours where VBA would change the cell interior color so they would swap after each order number to make things more visible. In a similar fashion as below:

    after
    
    Orders
    104151034
    104151042
    200053133
    200053133
    200154048
    200154048
    200154049
    200154046
    200143380
    200144746
    200144746
    200144746
    200145035
    200145035
    200145035
    200145060
    200145060
    200145060
    200147188
    200147188
    200154047
    200143013
    200143013
    200143013

    If possible I would prefer to have VBA solution as I have some other ideas for conditional formating. But if its not possible with VBA but is an option with conditional formation, then I could live with it.

    I have attached spreadsheet with sheets "before" and "after".


    As always I'm very grateful of any help.
    Cheers
