Default Changing Series Colour with VBA??

I forgot about 2007 !

Slightly strange that Dark Red in Excel 2007 is RGB(192,0,0)
whereas in previous versions it is RGB(128,0,0)

Heh, I know. I said Maroon for my reference. The actual name of the colour
that I chose was "Dark Red". The other colours I chose were "Green" and

"Dark
Blue, Text 2". I just didn't know how to reference the colour without

using
the RGB statement. Yeah, to me, it was similar to maroon. But, yeah, it is

a
little darker.

Do you know how to change the colour of the lines (found in Format Data
Series)? I can't figure this one out.

In Microsoft Office 2007 (192, 0, 0) exists at the far left of the 10
"Standard Colors". But, you're right, it does not exist in their pallet of

56
default theme colours.

Thanks for the help!

There is no such named colour, neither does RGB(192,0,0) exist in the
default colour palette of 56 colours.

When you apply some RGB colour value the nearest colour that already

exists
in the palette will be applied. Or rather ColorIindex(X) is applied

where X
is the index of the nearest matched palette colour.

If your palette is uncustomized I would expect colorindex(3),
RGB(255,0,0,0), Red to be applied with your example.
