Change cell color if state is complete/in progress/not started


I need to format the store number depending on the state where it's located. another tab shows the state status. Green for Complete/ Orange for In Progress and Yellow for Not Started. I would appreciated it if you would show me how to do it since I have a lot of files that needs to be setup that way as well. Thanks!
