Question : Sum cells based on their background color with Worksheet_Change Event

Hello:
I am wondering if it is possible to add up all cells within a range that have a given background color.

As I chg cells in the range to a different color or switch colors around it re-calculates each colors new value.

I added a sample worksheet that may show better what I am trying to do.
Please advise and thanks. -R-
