Hi everyone.
I have some VBA Code that works well to change the colour of a shape, dependent upon a cell value.
Some of the shape colour choices do not work well with white font, eg a bright yellow shape, but this is the colour of choice!

Here is my code and I wondered if someone could please tell me the add in code I need to change the font colour at the same time as changing the shape colour?

Thank you in advance

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()

    Dim rngC As Range
    Dim shp As Shape
   
    For Each rngC In Me.Range("R8:R39")
   
        Set shp = Me.Shapes("tbox" & rngC.Row - 7)
       
        shp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(166, 166, 166)
       
        If Sheet14.Cells(rngC.Row, 18) = "Chaos" Then
        shp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
       
        ElseIf Sheet14.Cells(rngC.Row, 18) = "Reactive" Then
        shp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(237, 125, 49)
       
        ElseIf Sheet14.Cells(rngC.Row, 18) = "Control" Then
        shp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(84, 130, 53)
       
        ElseIf Sheet14.Cells(rngC.Row, 18) = "Best Practice" Then
        shp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(68, 114, 196)
       
        ElseIf Sheet14.Cells(rngC.Row, 18) = "Excellence" Then
        shp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 0)

    End If
   
    Next rngC

End Sub

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
How about
VBA Code:
         shp.TextFrame.Characters.Font.Color = 1
