Format only top or bottom ranked values - Applies conditional formatting to the specified top- or bottom-ranked number (or percentage) of cells.
Format only values that are above or below average - Applies conditional formatting to cells falling above or below the average as calculated by Excel.

Select a color. Click a color that you want to use for the conditional formatting. This is the color that cells matching your formatting parameters will display.
Err on the side of light colors (e.g., yellow, light-green, light-blue), as darker colors tend to obscure the text in the cells—especially if you print the document later.
