    Count specific character in range if cell is not colored

    I'm trying to count the number of X's in a column "C" if the color of the cell is not changed to another color. Can this be done through a function or do I need to do a VBA. I started with the formula
    =SUMPRODUCT(LEN(C:C)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C:C,"C","")))
    But I need to incorporate the cell color.

    If you want to avoid VBA then you need to add filter.

    Add filter, filter by color and filter X out then use SUBTOTAL to count the rest.
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel

    Not really what I'm trying, I need to count them with there being multiple words in cell beginning with x
