Word - How to set Word colors in c#?

How to set  Word color in c#? The only colors that I am able to set in Word
are in enumeration WdColor.
Word.WdColor color = Word.WdColor.wdColorTurquoise;

How can I set  in c# shadings  that are not in enumeration, for example
“Blue, Accent 1”?


Thank you.

In VBA, you can use:

Selection.Range.Font.Color = RGB(10, 60, 165)

Is there any way to do it in C#?

I believe RGB is a VB function.

I do not know if there is an equivalent in C#.
This is a VBA group after all...

Try in:
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp

The 2007 Theme Colors are not RGB values. The whole thing is described here:
http://www.wordarticles.com/Articles/Colours/2007.htm (well, maybe not the
whole thing yet, but it should be enough) - it gives VBA code but you can
use the same hex values in any language.

I copied the following from the VSTO forum some time ago:

equivalent.  The Font.Color property can be set to a WdColor value or the
result of the VB RGB function.  The Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.RGB()
method duplicates this function.  So you can do the following:

Code Snippet
rng.Font.Color = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColor)
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.RGB(0, 112, 192);


Note that this requires you reference the Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly from
your project.

You can also use the System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle() method.  This
doesn't require the reference to the Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly."

Ha! I just noticed the "2007" in the poster alias...
I had just focused on the subject line...
I don't have 2007 on my machine at work and I am not all that good with
C#... Should've stayed away!

Thanks for jumping in!

Hi Cindy,



Thanks for giving this answer! It helped me solve my problem (I was coding in C# and needed an RGB color), and could do it easily using your solution.

d are in enumeration WdColor. Word.WdColor color =3D Word.WdColor.wdColorTu=
rquoise;How can I set in c# shadings that are not in enumeration, for examp=
le =93Blue, Accent 1=94?Thank you.

Here is what I did:
1) Open Word
2) Start record a macro
3) Perform a find and replace from a color in my document to the color that=
I want
4) Stop recording the macro
5) Open the VBA macro=20
6) Find the integer value for the color
7) Replace -738148353 in the example statement below with your value:
selection.Font.Color =3D (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColor)(-738148353=
);

This is an old thread, but you may want to look into the
msoThemeColorSchemeIndex constants?

... and/or the MsoThemeColorIndex constants.
