Excel has a set of themes and standard colors available for use. You select a color by clicking it:
The "More Colors" option allows you to select custom colors by entering a RGB or HEX code.
Excel supports Hexadecimal color values
A hexadecimal color is specified with: #RRGGBB
.
RR (red), GG (green) and BB (blue) are hexadecimal integers between 00 and FF specifying the intensity of the color.
For example, #0000FF is displayed as blue, because the blue component is set to its highest value (FF) and the others are set to 00.
Excel supports RGB color values.
An RGB color value is specified with: rgb( RED , GREEN , BLUE )
.
Each parameter defines the intensity of the color as an integer between 0 and 255.
For example, rgb(0,0,255) is rendered as blue, because the blue parameter is set to its highest value (255) and the others are set to 0.
