That would depend upon where you're accessing the color picker.
If from the Fill Color Icon on the Toolbar you should see the color names. Also when formatting a Comment or Shape color you will see the names. If from FormatCellsPatterns you will not see the color names.

I thank you very much...that explains why sometimes I see the color names and
sometimes I don't! Really appreciate the help. "Gord Dibben" wrote: That would depend upon where you're accessing the color picker.

The free Determine Colors Excel add-in displays the color of the cell interior, pattern, font, border and sheet tab on the cell right-click popup menu; and it includes conditionally formatted colors. Download it from the bottom of the Products page at my website... http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware -- Jim Cone San Francisco, USA (Excel Add-ins / Excel Programming) "g.a. chubach" wrote in message I thank you very much...that explains why sometimes I see the color names and sometimes I don't!
