Trying to change the colors of a range of cells. I am using the macro recorder to generate the code.

When I record the macro, I chose the color blue Accent 1 Darker 50. However when I choose that color and it looks good while I am recording it, the color the macro uses is blue accent 1 darker 25.

With Selection.Font
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent1
.TintAndShade = -0.499984740745262

End With

Very frustrating. I dont know what I am doing wrong

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Hello,

are you sure you are checking the correct cell, it works fine for me. I change it to a completely different colour, then run your code, and it colours is with Darker 50%.
