UDF Error with automatic calculations

The formula below is being used in a table to see which cells in the range have a particular conditional formatting color. When I enter the formula in the first row and excel auto-fills the other rows, the formula works. If I turn on automatic calculations, it gives #Value !. If manual formulas is on and I press Calculate Sheet, it returns #Value !. I am new to VBA and haven't been able to find an answer in my research yet. My best guess is the order of calculations when excel calculates the whole page verse when just the column is calculated.

Code:
Function ConditionalColor(Rng, Clr)
  
    Dim c
    ConditionalColor = False
    For Each c In Rng
        If c.DisplayFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = Clr Then
            ConditionalColor = True
            Exit For
        End If
    Next
    
End Function

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
You can't use DisplayFormat in a UDF.

Thank you for the response. I was able to correct it by removing this method from the formula all together.
