Google Sheets change background color based on value of another cell

In Google Sheets, is there a way to change not just the value but also the background color of a cell based on one of several possible values of another cell??

In other words,

If A1 is > 2, then B1 should be background color blue

I would like to change the background color of the cell E that are not 0:00. Here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NSBx87sWScwe2Vtp9FOcH3BupvPJ_jzISUeAk6gSBOM/edit?usp=sharing

What's the syntax to write this kind of matching?

Thanks in advance!

Google Sheets has a native solution for this.

Just right click on the cell(s) you want to change background color and choose Conditional formatting, it is the penultimate option.

Then a right side tab with the different formatting rules will open. There you can define the range, the rules and the formatting style.
