What exactly do you want to retrieve, the separate red green blue
components, the colour value, or what? Separate cells, all in one? How will
you pass the colour to be evaluated?

Thanks Bob.
Forgive my ignorance, but how can I get this info into cells in a sheet?

Public Function GetRGB(colour As Long, ByRef red, ByRef green, ByRef

red = colour And &HFF
green = colour \ 256 And &HFF
blue = colour \ 256 ^ 2 And &HFF

End Function

I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP.

I want to retrieve the current color mix values (RGB) for the current
user
of an Excel file (for index 17 through 27) and store these settings in
a
hidden sheet. I then plan to add some custom color mixes for use with
a
program, then restore the user's original colors when the user exits
the
file.

Does anyone have a function that will retrieve the current color mixes
(RGB)? If so, could you please post example code or a function?
(Please
note
that I already know how to custom mix the colors and add them to the
palette,
access them, etc). OR if someone has an easier solution to this issue,
please
post any suggestions...

Thanks much in advance.
