that color from VB is probably windows color for 3d objects
vb3dface from the windows XP theme Luna Blue


(it will be different dependent on what the user has chosen for his
interface)

Excel can handle any RGB value, but stores a set of 54 colors in a
workbook (which can be called with .colorINDEX

You can change these colors programatically or simply via
Tools/Options/Colors. (note: it's saved with the workbook)

If you want to assign a cell a specific color gray:
activecell.interior.color = &HC0C0C0 will do.

(note assigning hex you use BGR not RGB sequence)

Is the light grey that is available in the color template

Visual Basic?

The Excel light gray, which is 190, 190, 190 does not seem
comparable to that (&H00E0E0E0&) found in Visual Basic.
The one found in Visual Basic is what I would prefer,
however, I am working in Excel.

There must be a way to make my light grey in Excel appear
like that in Visual Basic ...
