Question : Excel vba: post 24  based on prev EE post -  Excel Color Palette - Scheme/Index revisited - for Sean and WarCrimes

Hi EE,

Sean and WC helped with a related post.
They mentioned a helpful nuance, yet i'm still a little unclear. I'm having a hard time getting my question acroos in
this post, bec. am unclear... thx,

Based on the screen shot below:
WarCrimes says and quotes Sean:
===================================
< It is my belief they were trying to set up a sort of gradient pattern in the palette
.  As Sean says, to put like colors together,
                which is how most editing software programs set up their palettes as well.

  Notice for the fill colors those are in numerical order as their is no gradient pattern to follow>

a)  set up a sort of gradient pattern in the palette
.  As Sean says, to put like colors together,

====>  I'm not seeing a gradient pattern? Can you pls point out a few boxes so that i can understand? thx.

b)    Notice for the fill colors those are in numerical order as their is no gradient pattern to follow>
=====>   what are fill colors? i thought that you could a color to fill interior AND for border line color?
                Can you show boxes that are fill colors.... thx,

thx for your help, pls advise, sandra

The numbers are in order... Just not what you might consider a logical order (to the programmer it was)...

1 white
2 black
3 red
4 green
5 blue

(in the additive color model, all other colors are based on combinations of these)

6 yellow (red+green in the additive color model)
7 pink (red+blue in the additive color model)
8 turquoise (blue+green in the additive color model)
etc...
