What are the RGB codes for the Conditional Formatting Styles in Excel

Question

I ve got some cells that I have Conditionally Formatted to Excel s standard  Bad  Style  Dark red text  light red fill   In another column I have cells that I have created a Conditional Formatting formula for   I also want to code these to match the  Bad  Style  but there isn t an option to use the pre-defined dark red text  light red fill  Instead I have to select my own formatting  but I can t find the correct Light Dark red combination  Does anyone know the RGB codes for at least the more common of the Conditional Formats    Good   Bad   Neutral

The easiest way to do this is to format a cell the way you want it, then use the "cell format ..." contextual menu to get to the fill and format colours, use the "more colors ..." button to get to the hexagon colour selector, select the custom tab.

The RGB colours are as in the table at the bottom of the pane. If you prefer HSL values change the color model from RGB to HSL. I have used this to change the saturation on my bad cells. A higher luminosity gives a worse results and the shade of all the cells is the same just the deepness of the colour is modified.

I imagine that these might possibly be changed with some styling options  But as far as default values go  these are taken from my version of Excel 2010 which should have the defaults    Bad  Red Font  156  0  6  Fill  255  199  206   Good  Green Font  0  97  0  Fill  198  239  206   Neutral  Yellow Font  156  101  0  Fill  255  235  156

Copy conditionally formatted cells into Word  using CTRL C  CTRL V   Copy them back into Excel  keeping the source formatting  Now the conditional formatting is lost but you still have the colors and can check the RGB choosing Home   Fill color  or Font color    More colors

For anyone who stumbles across this in the future  this is how you do it   xl Range  A1 A1   Style     Bad  xl Range  A1 A1   Style     Good  xl Range  A1 A1   Style     Neutral    An easy way to check on things like this is to open excel and record a macro  In this case I recorded a macro where I just formatted the cell to  Bad    Once you ve recorded the macro  just go in and edit it and it will essentially give you the code   It will require a little translation on your part  but here is what the macro looks like when I edit it    Selection Style    Bad    As you can see  it s pretty easy to make the jump to AHK from what excel provides
