The font colors already have a number which you cannot change so you might as
well use them.

Here is a partial list............

1 Black
2 White
3 Red
4 Bright Green
5 Blue
6 Yellow
7 Pink
8 Turquoise
9 Dark Red
10 Green
11 Dark Blue
12 Dark Yellow
13 Violet
14 Teal
15 Gray-25%
16 Gray-50%

See the Student's posting for a UDF to check the font colors you have.
