You can't do this directly with a standard function. However, this site
shows how you can do so with User-defined functions:

About half-way down the page is a section on:
"Summing the value of cells based on a specific colour"
which is relevant to your request.
Hope this helps.

Dear Rose...Are u asking to know "HOw to" conditionally format a cell with
pre-selected colors? Or you want to sum cells per color coding thru
conditional formulation?.
