Tommy,
When examining an existing formula -- yes, Calc uses multiple colors. 

When creating a formula for the first time, however, if you choose cells by
clicking on them it only uses red. Each cell you click on gets highlighted red
in turn.

Click on an empty cell.
Press = to start entering a formula.
Click on another cell to use that value. It gets highlighted red.
Press + to make it a sum
Click on a third cell, and now it gets highlighted red.
....and so on.

There's a good primer on colorblindness at 
jfly.iam.u-tokyo.ac.jp/html/color_blind/text.html

>From my experience, the use of red as a highlight color is a very pervasive
problem -- we do it a lot, since to non-colorblind people it's very
attention-grabbing. Most people with colorblindness have a weak or
nonfunctional red cone. Red therefore looks similar to a dark brown or black,
which is hardly a highlight (and disappears completely against a black
background....).
