Here's how to change the font used in a table: One very important note about changing a table's font: The font settings you make apply to the entire table, not just a particular cell, column, or row. The idea here is a fixed collection of 56 colors, each assigned its own numeric index.Most people are satisfied with the default font used in tables, and if you're one of them, you may want to skip this lesson. The ColorIndex property is a legacy from way back versions of Excel, but still supported. In addition to the Color property used to set the color of some Excel objects, you will also find the ColorIndex property for these objects. Range("A1").Font.Color = vbYellow Using the ColorIndex property Setting the font color of cell A1 to yellow, was never easier than: VbBlack, vbWhite, vbCyan, vbBlue, vbYellow, vbRed, vbMagenta, vbGreen. Print the value of vbGreen in the immediate Window, what do you get? ![]() This means that you don’t have the know the color code of these colors, just use the enumeration label for the color you want.įor example, vbRed enumerates 255 (the color code for red). To print out the numeric value of RGB(68,247,255), type in the following statement in the Immediate Window and press Enter: ?RGB(68,247,255)Įxcel VBA maintains enumerations for a bunch of popular colors. A quick way to find the numeric value of any RGB set would be using the Immediate Window in the VBA Editor (CTRL+G). ![]() Tip: as constants cannot be assigned functions, RGB() cannot be used here. Public Const DATE_PICKER_BG_COLOR = &HFF3399 Setting color codes as constantsĬolors are a great candidate for constants, as in many cases their value doesn’t change that often, yet we still want a consistent and readable VBA code.Ĭonstants can take any value, in both Hex and decimal. This will be valid to represent our cyan code in any color property: &HFF3399. So, if you want to see our beautiful cyan on your Webpage, swap the first “FF” with the last “44” in our code, resulting to: #44F7FF.īy the way, you might want to remember that swapping trick when you set specific colors for different controls when you design your User Forms. The reason is that while the Hex representation of a color is constructed by joining the RGB codes for the Web, Excel constructs its color codes by joining the BGR codes. You would be surprised to see a bright yellow instead. You would expect that #FFF744 will show the cyan on a webpage. You may also know that colors in Webpages are also usually represented in their hex representation, preceded by the hash (“#”) symbol. That is a construction of two characters for the R (Red) code in the mix, two characters for the G (Green) and two characters for the B (Blue), resulting in the RGB mix that also uniquely identifies a color. If not, you can use any RGB to Hex converter ( such as this one) to find the Hex code of a color.Īs you noticed, a hex color code contains 6 characters. In recent Excel versions the Hex code of the color is also presented. You can use Excel to choose a color you like from the color selection dialog box to see its RGB values. VBA offers an RGB function to convert a mix of RGB values to the decimal code of a color, making it useful to assign an RGB mix to any Color property. Our cyan color above has a mix of 68 red, 247 green and 255 blue. Each component takes a value between 1 and 255. Range("A1").Interior.Color = xlNone The RGB representation of a colorĪnother way to represent a color is by its unique combination of the Red, Green and Blue components, or RGB in short. Luckily, we have an Excel enumeration for that, so you do not need to remember the specific code, just assign xlNone like that: ![]() Tip: to clear the background (Fill) color of a range, assign it the value -4142. For example, the background color of cell A1 can be set to be cyan in one of the following two options: Precede the Hex value with the &H prefix (our cyan code will be set to: &HFFF744). You can assign the color codes to any Color property of any object in either their decimal or hex representation. For example, that cyan color number equals FFF744 in Hex representation (use any decimal to hex converter you find on the web to see how it works). You can also convert any decimal number to its Hexadecimal representation (or Hex for short). Every color is identified by a unique number. ![]()
