Your variables need to be Longs.

But you can simplify it without variables

Public Function CellHasSameFontAndInteriorColour(rng As
Range)
With rng
CellHasSameFontAndInteriorColour = _
.Font.Color = .Interior.Color
End With
End Function

I am comparing font colour with cell interior colour.
When I colour the font black and use a black interior,
the function returns a true value. When I colour the
font
white, against a white cell interior, I get an error.
Should I be using color.index instead? Or am I running
into a problem with one of the colours being
xlColorIndexAutomatic. If so, How do I ensure that the
comparison compares like numeric values to create the
correct boolean value for the funtion?

Public Function CellHasSameFontAndInteriorColour(rng As
Range)
Dim FontColour As Integer
Dim InteriorColour As Integer

With rng
FontColour = .Font.Color
InteriorColour = .Interior.Color

If FontColour = InteriorColour Then
CellHasSameFontAndInteriorColour = True
Else
CellHasSameFontAndInteriorColour = False
End If
End With

End Function
