Usage
The formula for combining the colors is:
Red + (256 * Green) + (65536 * Blue)
Use
RGB to obtain the long value required to set the color for text and drawing
objects. You can also set an object’s color to the long value that represents the
color. The
RGB function provides an easy way to calculate that value.
Determining color components The value of a component color is an
integer between 0 and 255 that represents the amount of the component that is
required to create the color you want. The lower the value, the darker the color;
the higher the value, the lighter the color.
The following table lists red, green, and blue values for the 16 standard colors:
Examples This expression returns as a long 8421376, which represents dark cyan:
RGB(0,128,128)
This expression for the Background.Color property of a salary column returns
a long that represents red if an employee’s salary is greater than $50,000 and
white if salary is less than or equal to $50,000:
