I would like to be able to add inverted chart colours with vba using RGB

Here is what I tried to do but is not working correctly

The first part is supposed to set the positive colour and the second part is supposed to set the negative colour

Code:
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 6").Activate
    ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Points(1).Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 153, 51)


    ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Points(1).Select
    With Selection
        .InvertIfNegative = True
        .Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
    End With

Hello, DLemcke

I'm not sure if you have already solved this probllem.
If not I am going to share the solution.

The negative color is not able to be modified by typing
⇒ .FullSeriesCollection(1).InvertIfNegative = True  
.format.fill.forecolor.rgb =

You can try this, it works for me : )
⇒ .FullSeriesCollection(1).InvertIfNegative = True  
.FullSeriesCollection(1).InvertColor = RGB(xx, xx, xx)



Good luck.
