if (light red fill dark red text..

[excellence]

Can I put the conditional formatting color of a cell, in this case, into an if statement? I know this isn't correct, but by example:
=if(C10=light red fill and dark red text,10,20)
Also, how would I deal with a cell with no fill?

if you are using conditional formatting to change the colour - then use the same formula in the IF()

if you used say
=AND(C10<>"",C10="fred")
in conditional formatting to change the cell to format light red fill and dark red text
Then use that
=IF(AND(C10<>"",C10="fred") , 10, 20 )
otherwise if not used in conditional formatting , then VBA will be needed - not my area
