I don't know a fill color formatting, but you may add a container field
behind the data entry field which holds different images - for you, this
could be one pixel graphics, zoomed to field extension.

Add e.g.  a field "backgrounds" of type container, global storage, several
repetitions, add color images to repetition 1, 2, 3, ...

And use another calculation field with result container and compute
  case (cell1 = "", getrepetition(backgrounds,2),
        cell3=1, getrepetition(backgrounds,3),
        "")
