Hi

I have read David McRitchie's excellent page on colors and fully appreciate
that Excel only recognises the names of 8.
However there must somewhere, somehow, be a method of accessing the read
only 'descriptive names' of the palette as shown when using ToolTip.

Anyone know how?

T.I.A.

Nope. If you change a colour to other than those 8, in the palette it shows
Color Scheme as the colour name.
 
Hi Bob
Thanks. Clearly an MS xlVeryHidden. Strange for such a minor issue.
