I have a question regarding the color in Excel. In normal time, if I want
the negative number shown in Red color, then I will formate a cell with�#,
##0;[Red] (#,##0)】. My question is that what happen if I want some other
color apart from the mainstream color (e.g black, green etc), how can I
easily formate it? What I mean is there any special color index code which I
can fill to the Excel formula, instead of just put [Red].

Many thanks,

Wilchong

Try

# ##0;[Color n] (#,##0)

Where n is the number of a colour in the Excel colour palette (1 - 56)

I think you can have the primary colours, red, green, blue, yellow as well
as black and white, but none of the others.

Using Conditional Formatting will allow a greater range of colors:

Format Conditional Formatting... Value is less than 0 Format Font
Color

and pick your color
