I don't think there is a direct way, but I found a converter on this
site:

http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourk...olour/convert/

Red = 1 - Cyan
Green = 1 - Magenta
Blue = 1 - Yellow

So with your known CMY values, we can write a user defined function
that converts them to the RGB values you want, which you can use to
adjust the color selection for your filled cells.

Function ConvertToRGB(iCyan As Integer, iMagenta As Integer, iYellow
As Integer) As String

Dim iRed As Integer, iGreen As Integer, iBlue As Integer

iRed = 1 - iCyan
iGreen = 1 - iMagenta
iBlue = 1 - iYellow

ConvertToRGB = iRed & ", " & iGreen & ", " & iBlue
End Function

I'm not familiar with CMY values so if the results are not what you
expect, you should be able to tweak it appropriately. Let me know if
you need to know how to use the function.
