Excel VBA RGB

VBA RGB, where RGB can be expanded by Red, Green, and Blue. And this helps in changing the color of font and cell color as well. In VBA, every color is given a value by bifurcating its shades in red, green, and blue colors. And such we have a total of 56 shades of basic colors whose RGB values range from 0 to 255.

When we apply VBA RGB, we can apply either change the color cell background or we can change the font color. Below we have the syntax of VBA RGB.

As we can see the syntax of RGB which clearly states that for each Red, Green, and Blue, it only considers the value as Integer. And together we can count RGB values as Long data type as well. We will be seeing the implementation of the RGB in upcoming examples. Before we move ahead, let’ see one of the basic colors which we could form using RGB as shown below.

Change Color of background Cell Using RGB

We will learn how to change the color of the background cell in Excel by using the VBA Code.

Example #1

In this example, we will see the simplest way to use RGB in VBA. Before we move forward with our Excel VBA RGB Code, first let us have data that we will be using to change the color of their cell or fonts. Below we have listed on some number from cell A1 to A10, which we will be using this example. For this, follow the below steps:

Step 1: Insert a new module inside Visual Basic Editor (VBE). Click on Insert tab > select Module.

Step 2: Now in the newly opened Module write the subprocedure of VBA RGB.

Code:

Sub VBA_RGB()

End Sub

Step 3: First we will select the cells, whose color we want to change. Here our range of cell will be from A1 to A10.

Code:

Sub VBA_RGB()

Range("A1:A10").

End Sub

Step 4: Now to change the color fonts of the selected cells, we will use the FONT function followed by COLOR.

Code:

Sub VBA_RGB()

Range("A1:A10").Font.Color

End Sub

Step 5: Now we will be using RGB with some random values to change the color Fonts from cell A1 to A10. We are giving more weightage to Red color and lesser to Green and Blue respectively as shown below.

Code:

Sub VBA_RGB()

Range("A1:A10").Font.Color = RGB(200, 100, 50)

End Sub

Step 6: Now compile the code by pressing function key F8 and to run the code, click on the Play button located below the menu bar. We would see the color fonts of selected range cells nearer to Brown color.

Example #2

In this example, we will be using the same data set which we saw in example-1 which is located in cell A1 to A10. Earlier we have seen the code to change the font colors but here we will be seeing how to change the color of a cell or background color or interior color. For this, again we can use the same line of code and do some editing or we can use a new module. We will be using the fresh module here. For this, follow the below steps:

Step 1: Open a new module and write the subprocedure for VBA RGB.

Code:

Sub VBA_RGB2()

End Sub

Step 2: Now select the same sets of cell range from A1 to A10.

Code:

Sub VBA_RGB2()

Range("A1:A10").

End Sub

Step 3: To change the interior color, we will be using the INTERIOR function along with COLOR in the same format which we saw in Example-1.

Code:

Sub VBA_RGB2()

Range("A1:A10").Interior.Color

End Sub

Step 4: Now we will be using RGB to fill the new color to the selected cell. We will be now giving more weightage to Green color and lesser to Red and Blue colors respectively.

Code:

Sub VBA_RGB2()

Range("A1:A10").Interior.Color = RGB(0, 255, 50)

End Sub

Step 5: Now compile the code by pressing function key F8 and to run the code, click on the Play button located below the menu bar. we will see the interior color of the selected cells is now changed to a major Green color.

Step 6: Let’s try to change and put the value of Green color more than 255 and see what color we get.

Code:

Sub VBA_RGB2()

Range("A1:A10").Interior.Color = RGB(0, 400, 50)

End Sub

Step 7: Now again run this updated code. We will notice that interior color selected cells A1 to A10 remains unchanged like previous, which is because RGB value resets to 255 if we use value more than 255.

Pros of VBA RGB

• It is so easy to change the font color and interior color using RGB with the help of code shown in the above examples.
• We can create and fill any type of color in which we want to see a font or in the cell.
• Using RGB we can automate the process of changing the color of cells or fonts which is quite useful to identify the difference of data.

Things to Remember

• We can try any type of combination of Red, Green, and Blue colors in RGB to see different shades of color.
• We can form any type of color using RGB in Excel VBA.
• The value of any color parameter can only be between o and 255. If we try to use value more than 255, it would be reset to 255 again.
• Always save the file in the Macro enable format to retain the written code to be used again multiple times.

Excel VBA RGB Color

RGB can also be called red, green, and blue. So, one may use this function to get the numerical value of the color value. This function has three components as a named range, and they are red, blue, and green. The other colors are the components of these three different colors in VBA.

In VBA, everything boils down to the coding of every piece. For example, we can use the RANGE object if you want to reference some portion of the worksheet. If you want to change the font color, we can use the NAME property of the range. Then, write the font name that we need but imagine a situation of changing the font color or the cell’s background color. Of course, we can use built-in VB colors like vbGreen, vbBlue, vbRed, etc. But, we have a dedicated function to play around with different colors, i.e., RGB.

Below is the syntax of the RGB color function.

As you can see above, we can supply three arguments: red, green, and blue. These three parameters can only accept integer numbers ranging from 0 to 255. The result of this function will be the “Long” data type.

Example #1

We have numbers from cells A1 to A8, as shown in the below image.

We will try to change the font color to some random color for this range of cells by using the RGB function.

Start the macro procedure first.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example1()

End Sub

First, we need to reference the range of cells of fonts we want to change the color of. In this case, our range of cells is A1 to A8, so supply the same  using the RANGE object.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example1()

  Range ("A1:A8")

End Sub

Put a dot to see the IntelliSense list of RANGE objects. From the IntelliSense list, we are trying to change the font color, so choose the FONT property from the list.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example1()

  Range("A1:A8").Font

End Sub

Once we chose the FONT property in this property, we tried to change the color, so we chose the color property of the FONT.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example1()

  Range("A1:A8").Font.Color

End Sub

Put an equal sign and open the RGB function.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example1()

  Range("A1:A8").Font.Color = RGB(

End Sub

Give random integer numbers ranging from 0 to 255 for all three arguments of the RGB function.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example1()

  Range("A1:A8").Font.Color = RGB(300, 300, 300)

End Sub

Now, run the code and see the result of font colors of the cells from A1 to A8.

Output:

So, the colors of the font changed from black to some other. The color depends on the numbers we give to the RGB function.

Below are RGB color codes to get some of the common colors.

You can just change the integer number combination from 0 to 255 to get the different sorts of colors.

Example #2

For the same range of cells, let us see how to change the background color of these cells.

First, supply the range of cells by using the RANGE object.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example2()

  Range ("A1:A8").

End Sub

This time we are changing the background color of the mentioned cells, so we have nothing to do with the FONT property. Now, choose the “Interior” property of the RANGE object to change the background color.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example2()

  Range("A1:A8").Interior

End Sub

Once the “Interior” property is selected, a dot to see the properties and methods of this “Interior” property.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example2()

  Range("A1:A8").Interior.

End Sub

Since we are changing the interior color of the mentioned cells, choose the “Color” property.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example2()

  Range("A1:A8").Interior.Color

End Sub

Set the interior color property of the range of cells (A1 to A8) out the equal sign and open the RGB function.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example2()

  Range("A1:A8").Interior.Color = RGB(

End Sub

Enter the random number as you want.

Code:

Sub RGB_Example2()

  Range("A1:A8").Interior.Color = RGB(0, 255, 255)

End Sub

Run the code and see the background color.

Output:

The background color has changed.

Things to Remember Here

• RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue.
• A combination of these three colors will give different colors.
• All these three parameters can accept integer values between 0 to 255 only. It will reset any numbers above this to 255.
