[mso] Excel: Selecting colors based on value?

I have a range where Column AA is a value 1 through 18 inclusive. Column AB 
contains color names.  Column AC contains a background of the color named 
in Column AB.

Example:
1  Black
2  Brown
3  Orange
etc.....
17 Green
18 Red

I am -trying- to find a way that will allow me to a number in Column A, say 
in cell A5 I have 3 for example, then in cell B5 the background will be 
Orange. I tried conditional formatting but that doesn't seem to work here.

Thank you.

Robert
