If the colors are painted by Conditional Formatting then the code can
actually ignore the color and focus on the condition itself.

Consider this simple example:

Let's say cells A1 thru A100 have been condtionally formatted to be bold if
the value is greater than 10. This allows us dis-regard the boldness and
instead:

Sub LaDdIe()
IAmTheCount = 0
For i = 1 To 100
If Cells(i, "A").Value 10 Then
IAmTheCount = IAmTheCount + 1
End If
Next
MsgBox (IAmTheCount)
End Sub

Thanks Gary,

Got it to work, but if the range's color is changed by conditional
formatting CountByColor does not work?, any ideas?
