validation

HI, Im very new to Excel and VBA and was wondering I there is a way I could make conditional formatting on drop down Lists.

I currently have a warning if the user enters something that is not valid (data validation) but I want to change the cell's background color to red if invalid or green if valid.

Again there only options are in a List box.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks
