    Dim rng As Range
    Set rng = Range("A1", "A40")
    SetupRandomData rng
  
    ' Create a conditional format for values above average.
    Dim aa As AboveAverage
    Set aa = rng.FormatConditions.AddAboveAverage
    aa.AboveBelow = xlAboveAverage
    aa.Font.Bold = True
    aa.Font.Color = vbGreen
  
    ' Create a conditional format for values below average.
    Dim ba As AboveAverage
    Set ba = rng.FormatConditions.AddAboveAverage
    ba.AboveBelow = xlBelowAverage
    ba.Font.Color = vbRed
End Sub

In the above output it is clear that the value that are above the average are of green color and the value that are below the average are of red color. Here we are trying to let you know the procedure to indicate the values by the different color according to our business logic.
I Hope you would like it.
