I am looking to use the RGB values for a specific color (other than those in the 56 color palette) I have tried just using:
Case 45=Target.Interior.Color= RGB(102, 102, 255)
Case RGB(102, 102, 255= Target.Interior.Color= RGB(255, 255, 51)
But when i do this it reaches the first RGB and locks up the cell where i am unable to click colors forward or backward. Help would be appreciated
Below is what I have created thus far: (This code works butonly with the color index. Need to use RGB values for more color variation)

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("AA1:AB10")) Is Nothing Then
        Cancel = True
        Select Case Target.Interior.ColorIndex
            Case xlnone: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 56
            Case 56: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 13
            Case 13: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
            Case 6: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 44
            Case 44: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 8
            Case 8: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 5
            Case 5: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
            Case 4: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 10
        End Select
    End If
End Sub


Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("AA1:AB10")) Is Nothing Then
        Cancel = True
        Select Case Target.Interior.ColorIndex
            Case 10: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
            Case 4: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 5
            Case 5: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 8
            Case 8: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 44
            Case 44: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
            Case 6: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 13
            Case 13: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 7
            Case 7: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlnone
        End Select
    End If
End Sub

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

Can you please show the code that doesn't work?
Also when posting code please use code tags, the # icon in the reply window.

Below is the not woking code
Code: 
<code>
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("Aa1:aB10")) Is Nothing Then
        Cancel = True
        Select Case Target.Interior.Color
            Case xlnone: Target.Interior.Color = RGB(102, 102, 255)
            Case RGB(102, 102, 255): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(102, 0, 255)

            Case RGB(255, 102, 0): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 51)
            Case RGB(255, 0, 51): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(153, 0, 0)
            Case RGB(153, 0, 0): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(0, 153, 0)
            Case RGB(0, 153, 0): Target.Interior.ColorIndex = RGB(204, 0, 255)
        End Select
    End If
End Sub

Try
Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("AA1:AB10")) Is Nothing Then
        Cancel = True
        Select Case Target.Interior.Color
            Case [COLOR=#ff0000]16777215[/COLOR]: Target.Interior.Color = RGB(102, 102, 255)
            Case RGB(102, 102, 255): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(102, 0, 255)
            Case RGB(102, 0, 255): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 51)
            Case RGB(255, 255, 51): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 102, 0)
            Case RGB(255, 102, 0): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 51)
            Case RGB(255, 0, 51): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(153, 0, 0)
            Case RGB(153, 0, 0): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(0, 153, 0)
            Case RGB(0, 153, 0): Target.Interior.Color = RGB(204, 0, 255)
        End Select
    End If
End Sub
You've also left ColorIndex on the last line

Thank you Fluff that solved that problem, I much appreciate it.
Next Challange:
I have set up the multiple color sequences and locations for each, I have also used worksheetwatcher to utalize multiple subs. The issue I have is that on running the following I get a Compile error: Ambiguous name detected: WorksheetWatcher_BeforeDoubleClick. As i know this is the same name as other sub I am not exactly sure what syntax i can use so that they will all work. Any thoughts would be wonderful.
Code: 
<code>
Private WithEvents WorksheetWatcher As Worksheet
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()


    Set WorksheetWatcher = Me


End Sub


Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:G1")) Is Nothing Then
        Cancel = True
        Select Case Target.Interior.Color
            Case 16777215: Target.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 153, 153)

Firstly, as mentioned before, when posting code please use code tags, the # icon in the reply window.

Secondly, do you want these codes to work on all sheets in the workbook, or just 1?
