Looking at the new colour themes in Excel 12 reminded me of a tool I put together a while ago. It’s a colour pallet type tool which lets you build a set of colours in the same range - it’s useful for designing report and the like. Anyway here it is - the help tells you what to do.
Thanks, Ross. I hope to check this out in the near future.
Two months ago I attended a seminar by Charley Kyd (Excel User). I really like the palette he developed, subtle shading with not variation, but very effective. I used his color scheme to set up a template file, but then added about 12 colors that our company “requires”. Very fine combination!
Hi Rich,
This is ok, but it a bit limited really, I think i could be made better, but i’m not sure that it’s worth devloping too much - try it and see. There is another colour reklated thing i saw, and thougt was cool where you can pull in a image and get the colour from that to use in your document. I think that would be very useful too.
Cheere Rich

Ross,
I have noticed that the comments on the blog do not seem to line up with the article. Is there an alignment issue in the code?
I should have also written that in the comment area, the “Submit” button is directly over the RSS feed line,a nd so it is difficult to submit, unless one is careful to click the very edge of the Submit button.
Hi rich,
Yeah, there’s a lot i need to change on this blog - time!
Sometimes the code gets all messed up when i make a post. I’l try a fix it now!
cheers
Ross
i think that’s got it!
cheers
Looks good, Ross; all alignment issues solved.
I understand the issue of time… Hope you realize I wasn’t criticizing, but trying to help.
Have a good day. :-)
Oh, no, no Rich I didn’t think that! Thanks for commenting! :-)
