C# Word Interop Automation 2013 - Set Font color to an RGB value

Question

How do you set the FONT COLOR on a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word C# application?

I noticed the ColorIndex property handles around 20 colors and no sign of allowing me choose from a RGB value ??

This is the code that I cannot make it work:

parag.Range.Font.TextColor.RGB = Color.FromArgb(84, 141, 212).ToArgb();

The exception i get is:
One of the values passed to this method or property is out of range.

Any help will be truly appreciated !!

Answer 1

Although Color doesn't appear in the intelisense, you can access it on Font like so:

parag.Range.Font.Color = WdColor.wdColorBlue;

And to create a custom WdColor, you can use:

Color c = Color.FromArgb(229, 223, 236);
var myWdColor = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColor)(c.R + 0x100 * c.G + 0x10000 * c.B);

Answer 2

尝试使用Font.TextColor.RGB 。

Answer 3

Just try this:

Color c = Color.FromArgb(84, 141, 212);            
parag.Range.Font.TextColor.RGB = (c.R + 0x100 * c.G + 0x10000 * c.B)
