Hi everyone

I'm formatting a header/footer on my sheet. I've worked out how to change the font, size and whether it's bold. I'm struggling to change the font colour/tint though, it's not clear where the instructions go. I'm also not certain about what the code for this looks like, according to the help guide it's &K xx. S nnn but that gives me alot to go wrong!!

Based on the theme colour elsewhere I've used:
VBA Code:
ThemeColor = xlThemeColorLight1 
.TintAndShade = 0

I'm trying to add the code to change the colour to the following three lines:
Code:
FirstPage.RightFooter.Text = "&08&""DM Sans""Page &P of &N"
.FirstPage.CenterFooter.Text = "&10&""DM Sans""Confidential"
.FirstPage.LeftFooter.Text = "&""DM Sans""&08" & Range("A2")


Please can anyone help me to understand what the instruction to change the colour looks like, and where it goes?

Any assistance gratefully received!
Thanks
Chloe
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
VBA Code:
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
    .CenterFooter = "&KFFFF00" & "This is yellow text footer"
    .RightFooter = "&KFF0000" & "&08&""DM Sans""Page &P of &N I AM RED"
    .LeftHeader = "&K00FF00" & "&08&""DM Sans""I AM GREEN HEADER"
End With
Long story short: &K and hex coded colour.
