How to create a new standard color on the palette?

[Suzie_B]

I am wanting to create a new standard color (140R, 143G, 76B) for cells in a
table. Is there anyway to do this so that I don't need to go into Custom each
time??

Create a character style (and/or paragraph style) that has the font colour
attributes you require and apply it to the text.
For table background shading, use the following macro to apply your colour
to the table the cursor is in.

Sub MyTableColor()
Selection.Tables(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = 5017484
End Sub

or for individual cells

Sub MyCellColor()
Selection.Cells.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = 5017484
End Sub
