Using colors with display formats

Display formats

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.
