Conditional Formatting on one cell based on a range satisfying a criteria

I would like to use conditional formatting to create the Green/True and Red/False cells based on whether the data in the table below satisfies the criteria listed below the table. 

Any help would be appreciated.

    cjacobsen633 It seem you already have formulas in place on row 2 that return either TRUE or FALSE. Then the following rules will do the colouring for you.

    (Picture taken on a Mac, but it's similar for the PC version of Excel)

      Riny_van_Eekelen Thank you for the response.  I am sorry, I was not very clear in my ask.  I am having problems writing the formulas to make the CF work.  This picture is my desired outcome.  I can write the formulas to use CF on each row of the data, but I don't know how to write the formulas to review the column first, then summarize and apply the CF to the end result.

        cjacobsen633 Then start by explaining the logic for every TRUE or FALSE. For columns A and B it seems obvious. None of the cells are blank, thus TRUE. I don't really understand how to interpret the criteria for C and D and why these become FALSE. Column E seems obvious but why is column F FALSE when there is a value 100 for Union C? G is clear but H is not. At least, not to me.
