I need a line of code that says: if background color of a cell in range E18:E3000 = 6 then remove protection/unlock that entire row.
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Code:
Activesheet.Unprotect "password"
For Each cell In Range("E18:E3000")

If cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 Then

cell.EntireRow.Locked = False
End If
Next cell
Activesheet.Protect "password"

Patience is not one of your virtues is it?

Code:
Activesheet.Unprotect "password"
For Each cell In Range("E18:E3000")

cell.EntireRow.Locked = cell.Interior.ColorIndex <> 6
Next cell
Activesheet.Protect "password"
