Is there a way to custom format a cell based on what is selected by a filter?

My original data has 4 columns, and looks like this:

Metric Store VAB $s
1 A Var (1,000)
1 A Act 1,000
1 A Bud 2,000
1 B Var 250
1 B Act 1,500
1 B Bud 1,250
1 C Var (250)
1 C Act 750
1 C Bud 1,000
2 A Var 250
2 A Act 1,500
2 A Bud 1,250
2 B Var (215)
2 B Act 1,250
2 B Bud 1,465
2 C Var 111
2 C Act 1,555
2 C Bud 1,444

In my spreadsheet cells A1,A2 & A11 are in font color black and cells A3:A10 and A12:A19 are in font color=white. (It makes it easier to read, but allows the filters work.) Same thing with the Store column. Cells B1, B2, B5, B8, B11, B14, B17 are black, the rest in the column are white.

If I filter by STORE A, everything is ok. I can see the Metric and Store cause it is already in a black font. But if I filter by STORE B, I need cells A5 and A14 to change from white to black, and if I filter by STORE C, I need cells A8 and A17 to change from white to black.

Thanks!
