I think u can do it via Vb. U can check if the checkbox ischecked.
then u can format the range and specify the color

Hi,

Put a checkbox from the 'Forms' toolbox on your sheet. Right click is and
apply this macro

Sub CheckBox1_Click()
If ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes("Check Box 1").Value = xlOn Then
Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Else
Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
End Sub

Change the range and colour to suit your requirements.

range is red ?

Here's one way.

After adding a check-box using the Forms tool bar, right-click on the tool
check-box and use
Format control > Control

There, select the "Unchecked" button, and in the "Cell link" indicate a
helper cell in some out-of-the-way place. That cell will contain logical
TRUE or FALSE depending on whether or not the check-box is checked. Then
select the "range of cells" and use
Format > Conditional formatting
With formulas referring to the helper cell.
