Default RGB of highlighted Excel button

cosmin.com - Color Detector, Freeware program to detect the color
of any pixel on the screen. Simply run the program, point the mouse
cursor anywhere on the screen, and the color detector window will
display the RGB values, HTML hex code, and the color name of the
color of the pixel pointed to by the mouse cursor.

Note that Excel uses ColorIndex, and RGB values will be changed
to a ColorIndex value so unless you have an exact match you
probably won't like the results of Excel's approximation.

Using Excel 2002.
Could anybody tell me what the RGB color is of a highlighted button on the
main Excel toolbar?
This is the color that it changes to when the mouse moves over it.
It is something like RGB(195, 215, 235), but I can't figure out what it is
exactly.
Alternatively a system color would do.
Thanks for any help.
