Thank you Stefi
apologize me for responsing late, the code worked and colored my list, but
some thing is strange ,after run the code some of the colors created in the
list are different from my defination, for example light orange and light
gray both appear light yellow ,
indeed,if it possible I want to know can I define some properties such as
forcolor or fontsize with my words in pattern sheet at same time.
many regards

This must be one line in VBA, and as I see, this message window broke it
into two parts. I Inserted a line break to avoid it. Have you named the
helper sheet "pattern"?

Sub szinez()
Dim colD As Range
noofrows = Columns("D:D").End(xlDown).Row
Set colD = Range("D2:D" & noofrows)
For Each dcell In colD
hit = WorksheetFunction.Match(dcell.Value, _
Worksheets("pattern").Columns("A:A"), 0)
colorno = Worksheets("pattern").Range("A" & hit).Interior.ColorIndex
' dcell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = colorno
Range("A"&dcell.Row&":K"&dcell.Row).Interior.Color Index = colorno
Next dcell
End Sub

Genius Thanks, I have done what you said, But I am reciveing an
error(run-time error '1004') in line hit=.............. with just one row
colored in top of my list,and
is it posible to color a range(A:K) instead of entire row?
A.....................D........................... .......K
1 ......................USS......................... ......
RED
2 ......................NZZ......................... .......
BLUE

Place your words in a helper column, in my example it is column A in a helper
worksheet named "pattern", set the backgrond color of cells to the required
color for the word in them, and run this macro:

Sub szinez()
Dim colD As Range
noofrows = Columns("D:D").End(xlDown).Row
Set colD = Range("D2:D" & noofrows)
For Each dcell In colD
hit = WorksheetFunction.Match(dcell.Value,
Worksheets("pattern").Columns("A:A"), 0)
colorno = Worksheets("pattern").Range("A" & hit).Interior.ColorIndex
dcell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = colorno
Next dcell
End Sub
