Re: RGB Values of Word Color Pallette

Hi C.B.,

You didn't mention the version of Office you're using. The 2007 version has sort of a twist on what 'standard' can be <g>.

The original 16 choices, shown in the 'Highlighter' tool (top to bottom, left to right) are

RGB Hex RGB Decimal Color Names
======== =========== ============
n/a n/a None

#FFFF00 255/255/000 Yellow*
#FF0000 255/000/000 Red*
#8B0000 139/000/000 Dark Red*

#00FF00 000/255/000 Bright Green(Lime)*
#00008B 000/000/139 Dark Blue(Navy)*
#808000 128/128/000 Dark Yellow(Olive)*

#00FFFF 000/255/255 Turquoise(Aqua)*
#008080 000/128/128 Teal*
808080 128/128/128 Gray-50%(Gray)*

#FF00FF 255/000/255 Pink(Fuschia)*
#008000 000/128/000 Green*
#C0C0C0 192/192/192 Gray-25%(Silver)*

#0000FF 000/000/255 Blue*
#800080 128/000/128 Violet(Purple)*
#FFFFFF 255/255/255 Black

The 40 choices in the Font, line and fill color dialogs are (top to bottom left to right in the dialog) listed below. Where a color name appears in parentheses it is a web color name (not always the same as the Word tooltip color name. Word uses those parenthetical names internally in it's web page work for compatibility, as well as the asterisked standard names.

Can anyone share the RGB values of the standard Word (Powerpoint, Excel,
etc.) color pallette? I keep reading about the pallettes being RGB but I
can't find their values anywhere. Maybe I've just not dug deep enough.>>
