I have a list of inventory items.

Changing-font-color.xlsx

I have a list of inventory items. I would like to find out the most efficient way to trigger a font color change (to blue) of the text in columns A, B & C based on every first instance of a phrase in column E. I've attached a sample file called "Changing font color.xlsx" to help illustrate what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
Andrea
