RGB values
I am attempting to write some code that will in excel fill a cell with a user
created colour using RGB values. basically the user will enter in the red, green and blue values in 3 seperate cells then i want to know how to write some code to get those RGB values into a fill pattern and fill a cell with it? example - r=20, g=145, b=250; then the cell will be populated with the colour those RGB values create. any one out there with a solution for me? if its possible i would prefer to want some code i can simply type into a cell, if its avoidable i dont want to use macros. |
RGB values
here's an example
Selection.Interior.Color = RGB(20,145,250) will set the active cell's background to the specified RGB value "benny" wrote: I am attempting to write some code that will in excel fill a cell with a user created colour using RGB values. basically the user will enter in the red, green and blue values in 3 seperate cells then i want to know how to write some code to get those RGB values into a fill pattern and fill a cell with it? example - r=20, g=145, b=250; then the cell will be populated with the colour those RGB values create. any one out there with a solution for me? if its possible i would prefer to want some code i can simply type into a cell, if its avoidable i dont want to use macros. |

Selection.Interior.Color = RGB(20,145,250)
will set the active cell's background to the specified RGB value Not quite. Excel is limited to a color pallet of 56 colors (although you can choose any RGB color for inclusion in the pallet). When you specify a value to the Color property, Excel picks the closest color in its pallet to the one specified. You are not guaranteed a match. If you need an exact RGB color, you must first assign it to a location in the pallet, and then use the ColorIndex to grab that color. E.g., ThisWorkbook.Colors(56) = RGB(20,145,250) Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 56 -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Alvin" wrote in message ... here's an example Selection.Interior.Color = RGB(20,145,250) will set the active cell's background to the specified RGB value "benny" wrote: I am attempting to write some code that will in excel fill a cell with a user created colour using RGB values. basically the user will enter in the red, green and blue values in 3 seperate cells then i want to know how to write some code to get those RGB values into a fill pattern and fill a cell with it? example - r=20, g=145, b=250; then the cell will be populated with the colour those RGB values create. any one out there with a solution for me? if its possible i would prefer to want some code i can simply type into a cell, if its avoidable i dont want to use macros. |
