This is how I do it. I have a button, and this button calls a function that
shows the colour picker, and returns the chosen colour.
This is the function.
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function GetColorindex(Optional Text As Boolean = False) As Long
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim rngCurr As Range
Set rngCurr = Selection
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Range("IV1").Select
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPatterns).Show
GetColorindex = ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex
If GetColorindex = xlColorIndexAutomatic And Not Text Then
GetColorindex = xlColorIndexNone
End If
ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexAutomatic
rngCurr.Select
Set rngCurr = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Function
