A new Input Field is now available for Microsoft Office Applications in the Colors dialog box for HEX Color Values. This way we will not spend any more time converting HEX Color Values into RGB Values. This new feature is available in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Visio, Project, Access, and OneNote.

What is a Hex Value for Color? A color hex code describes the composition of a certain color in a specific color space, usually RGB. In the case of RGB, the first value pair refers to red, the second to green and the third to blue, with decimal values ranging from 0 to 255, or in hexadecimal 0 to FF (#RRGGBB).

What are RGB Values? A color’s RGB value indicates its red, green, and blue intensity. Each intensity value is on a scale of 0 to 255, or in hexadecimal from 00 to FF. RGB values are used in HTML, XHTML, CSS, and other web standards.

Hex color codes in Microsoft 365 for Windows and Mac aren’t just good for HTML coders, it’s a fantastic shortcut for anyone managing colors in Word, PowerPoint or other Office documents.

Hex color codes are now an option in Microsoft 365, Office 2021 and Office 2019. It seems like a simple change in the Custom Color dialog but Hex Code opens up some useful options.

‘Hex’ are six character color codes using 0 – 9 plus A-F.

In Office you can type or paste the code, with or without the # prefix. Office will add the hash # if it’s missing.

Office for Mac

Mac users can have a little laugh. Office for Mac already has Hex code support on the Color Sliders tab.  In fact, Office for Mac has much better color selection options because it uses the powerful color selection tools in MacOS.

Copy and Paste colors

Color matching has been a right pain in Office until now.  To ensure that doc or slide elements match meant remembering the RGB or HSL color code, writing it on a note, back your hand, whatever.  Then switch to the other element (text, shape, image etc) and type in the digits.

(Format Painter doesn’t work with all document parts and will copy all the formatting, not just the color).

No need with Hex Codes … select the Hex code and copy to the clipboard (Ctrl + C).  Switch to the color selector for another Office part and paste the Hex color code into the Custom Color dialog (in the same document, another doc or even another Office program).

Easy and no need to mumble a trio of numbers under your breath while switching!

That applies wherever the color selector appears, for fonts, images, borders, shapes, icons etc.

What are Hex colors?

‘Hex’ means Hexadecimal or base 16. The color codes are six characters long using 0 – 9 plus A-F.

Green is #008000  Blue #0000ff  Silver #c0c0c0 .

They are usually prefixed with a # to distinguish them from other color codings.

Short Hex codes supported

Hex codes with repeating characters can be abbreviated to three characters, #ffcc00 can become #fc0  .

Short, 3 character Hex codes can be typed into the Hex field. Office will convert them into full 6 character Hex codes.

Named Hex codes not supported

Web designers know that Hex codes can be given special names. There are 16 basicnamed Hex colors like #Aqua  #Navy etc.

These codes are NOT supported in Office.  That’s a pity since there are only sixteen possibilities. It would have been comprehensive and convenient to convert the named color into full Hex code, similar to what happens with short hex codes.

Quick Color Conversion Hex to RGB or HSL

If you really need an RGB or HSL color setting, type in the Hex code and Office will show it in the other two forms.

Sure, there are plenty of color code conversion sites on the web but Colors | Custom is already there for you and works offline too!

If you want to put Terminal code in Word with the correct colorization, just copy and paste won’t work. You’ll need to use a tool to generate colorized HTML, then import the HTML into Word. We can use ansi2HTML to convert our Terminal code to HTML, then drop it into our Microsoft Word document.

Using ansi2HTML to create colored Terminal code as HTML

If you’re on macOS or Linux or have a Linux shell running on Windows, you can use ansi2HTML to output colored Terminal code into Microsoft Word.

Install ansi2HTML

Without access to yum, we need a package manager to allow us to install ansi2HTML.

Unfortunately, the package is not on Homebrew, but we can get it from pip. If you don’t already have pip installed, grab it by running the command below in Terminal:

Once you have pip installed, you can pull ansi2HTML down from pip with this command:

Linux users with yum available can use the following commands to install:

sudo yum install python-ansi2html

Using ansi2HTML in Terminal

With ansi2HTML installed, we can now use it in Terminal.

The general syntax for ansi2html is:

ls --color=always | ansi2html > directories.html

First comes the command we want to print out with any colorization flags enabled. Then we pipe that output to ansi2html and use a caret to export it to a file with the .html extension.

For example, to print my macOS system logs in color, I might run something like the following:

sudo tail /var/log/system.log | ccze -A | ansi2html > logs.html

Eagle-eyed readers will note that I’ve interspersed ccze as a secondary step to colorize my logs. You can grab that from Homebrew with brew install ccze.

Open the resulting HTML file, and we will see the colorized output of our command.

Note that you need to be careful to explicitly colorize the code coming out of Terminal, as the pipe command ( | ) often strips colorization even if your environmental variables request otherwise.

Pasting Colored HTML into Word

Now that I’ve generated colored HTML, I need a way to put that into Word.

1. From the “Insert” menu on the ribbon in Microsoft Word, select “Text from File” under the Object icon’s dropdown.

If you don’t see that icon, make sure you’ve maximized your Word window to reveal all the icons in the ribbon.

2. In the pop-up file browser, select the HTML file that ansi2HTML created. The colored text will be copied into Word.

Changing ansi2HTML’s color scheme

As you can see, some of the text is a little difficult to read. We can adjust the colors manually in two places. In this instance, the first would be the ccze command, which was responsible for applying the color initially. But more directly, we can edit the CSS in the HTML file that ansi2HTML created.

1. Open the HTML file in a text editor.

2. In the head of the HTML document we can see the auto-generated CSS.

3. ansi2HTML defines a number of classes to apply colors. We simply need to see which classes are associated with the colors we want to change, then pick a more suitable color.

We can also run ansi2HTML in light color mode using the -l flag, like so:

This produces much more legible output against a white background, though it’s not as attractive:

You could also put shorter code blocks in a textbox and set the background to a dark color, but that’s probably the least flexible option.

Conclusion

A similar process can be used to colorize a variety of code. If you can produce colorized standard output in Terminal, you can “print” that to ansi2HTML and drop it into Word.
