Default Linking Equations to Highlights

I am interested in linking a formula to the colour of the cell. Ie. positive
number would produce a green cell & negative cell would high light the cell
in red.
The reason of the question is that I can do a financial report that
automatically tells me if a catagory is in the negative or in the positive at
a glance.

Thank you
