Description
You can define a color for each display format section by specifying a color keyword before the format. The color keyword is the name of the color, or a number that is the color's RGB value, enclosed in square brackets. For example:
[RED]m/d/yy [255]m/d/yy
The following table lists the named color keywords.
The formula for combining primary color values into a number is:
256 * 256 * blue + 256 * green + red = number
where the amount of each primary color is specified as a value from 0 to 255. For example, to specify cyan, substitute 255 for blue, 255 for green, and 0 for red. The result is 16776960.
The following table lists the blue, green, and red values you can use in the formula to specify other colors.
