I have a Excel file that I want to color-code. Say 5 different colors.

Is there a way to hide all cells of a certain color?

You can select the cells you want then right click and select "hide".

I think you need to make a macro or script to do that but it can be done.

I should have been more specific.

The colored cells are going to be mixed togeather. It would be easier if I could color all related cells, say RED, then be able to hide all the other colors but leave the RED cells. I would rather be able to do it with a command than pick each cell.

Is this possible?

yes, but you will need to program a script to do it, as excel has limited cell coloring functionality. You can try messing with the Conditional Formatting function, under the Format menu, but in order to hide/unhide cells with a specfic color you will need to make a script.
