Sorry, just a further question to this.
Does the dialog box only color the active cell or can it be forced to
color another cell ???

Just as I stated in the link you cited, it is like doing it from the menu -
so only the selection at the time you make the selection.

You might want to look at John Walkenbach's site. He has done all the hard
work of putting together a color picker on a userform:
