    You can do it with Conditional Formatting...

    Select the column go to Home|Conditional Formatting, select New Rule.

    Then select Use formula to determine which cells to format and enter a formula like:

    =COUNTIF(A:A,A1)>1

    where column A is the column you selected.

    Click Format and choose from Fill tab.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Why don't you use conditional formatting option "format only unique or duplicate values" ?
