Thank you very much. What I meant what is the VBcolor name for

ColorIndex = 12

What is the VBcolor corresponding to that color
What is called

VB DarkYellow for example

or VB LightGreen

or it does not have VB color name?

There isn't one, the names you showed are the only names that exist in VBA (or at least that I'm aware of).

Yes you are right. I just read the link Logit sent and it says

"Excel only recognizes names for Color 1 through 8 (Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan). The colors 1-16 are widely understood color names from the VGA color palette. Of the 56 colors only 40 colors appear on the palette. The 40 colors names indicated on the Excel color palette (see below) are for descriptive purposes only. "


So only 8 colors have VBcolor name.

Thank you all for the help

You can also use RGB values in your code. RGB gives you more than 17 million choices.

Sub FillCell()


Cells(2, 2).Interior.Color = RGB(200, 200, 250)
Cells(2, 2).Borders.Color = RGB(180, 180, 230)


End Sub
