Excel supports more than 16 million colors in a cell; hence you should know how to set the exact color in a cell. To do this, you can use RGB (Red, Green, Blue) function in VBA to set the color of a cell. The function requires 3 numbers from 0 to 255 [e.g. RGB(234,232,98)]. Below is a practice code that changes cell colors to Green, Red and Blue.
'This function can be used to change the color of a cell
Public Sub ChangeCellColor()
'Change cell color to green
Sheet1.Range("C4").Interior.Color = RGB(0, 255, 0)
'Change cell color to red
Sheet1.Range("C5").Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
'Change cell color to blue
Sheet1.Range("C6").Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 255)
End Sub
