ms word - VBA to return RGB color of text -


i have been able return rgb colour of text in word document color has been picked using custom colours, not when standard colours used. used below code:

function getrgbtest(colour long) string  getrgbtest = "rgb(" & (colour mod 256) & "," & ((colour \ 256) mod 256) & "," & ((colour \ 256 \ 256) mod 256) & ")"  end function  sub testcolour()  msgbox getrgbtest(selection.font.color)  end sub 

when using standard colour, selection.font.color returns negative value , rgb value incorrect.

i have tried editing have following (where dict list of colorindex , respective rgb vals):

function getrgbtest(colour long, colind integer) string  if colour > 0     getrgbtest = "rgb(" & (colour mod 256) & "," & ((colour \ 256) mod 256) & "," & ((colour \ 256 \ 256) mod 256) & ")" else     colind = ltrim(str(colind))     getrgbtest = dict.item(colind) end if end function  sub testcolour()  msgbox getrgbtest(selection.font.color, selection.font.colorindex)  end sub 

although think colorindex returns value doesnt relate standard colours.

does have idea how transform these values rgb vals?

i haven't been able google reference, if recall correctly there 3 possible data formats word return font colour in.

rgb format

if high byte &h00 remaining 3 bytes represent red, green, , blue. format familiar , handling.

automatic colour

if value &hff000000 known -16777216 colour set automatic, , black. otherwise assumes default colour document.

mysterious third negative format

if high nibble of high byte &hd, if first digit of hexidecimal representation of number d, uses word colour scheme format.

for example, might &d500ffff second nibble, &h5 in our example, matches value in enumeration wdthemecolorindex. if create translation table translating enumeration msothemecolorschemeindex enumeration, can basic colours in document's activedocument.documenttheme.themecolorscheme collection. why there 2 enumerations different index numbers same thing ask? question! moving on...

this not end of story however! there last 3 remaining bytes worry about! next one, low byte of high word, think it's easy. believe it's &h00. if run different value byte... well, best of luck you.

the last 2 bytes represent percentages darken or lighten value (respectively). &ff or 255 means no change , &h00 means 100%. same in colour picker see things "accent 2, lighter 60%". way &hd500ff66, 5 being index accent 2, &h66 being 60% in lighter byte.

so here function not account lighter , darker values:

public function getbasicrgb(color long) string   dim colorindexlookup   dim colorindex integer   dim finalcolor long   colorindexlookup = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 2, 1, 4, 3)   colorindex = colorindexlookup( _       ((color , &hf000000) / &h1000000) _       + lbound(colorindexlookup))   finalcolor = activedocument.documenttheme.themecolorscheme(colorindex)   getbasicrgb = "rgb(" & (finalcolor , &hff) & "," & _       (finalcolor / &h100 , &hff) & "," & _       ((finalcolor , &hff0000) / &h10000) & ")" end function 

to account lighter , darker believe have convert rgb value hsl value modify l component % lighter or darker. convert rgb. don't care figure out right now.
