RGB - VBScript

Overview

The RGB command in VB Script is used to create a color value from the specified red, green, and blue components. This color value can then be used to set the color of text, shapes, or other objects in VB Script applications.

Syntax

RGB(Red, Green, Blue)

where:

  • Red is the red component of the color, a value between 0 and 255.
  • Green is the green component of the color, a value between 0 and 255.
  • Blue is the blue component of the color, a value between 0 and 255.

Options/Flags

None.

Examples

To create a bright red color, use the following code:

Dim colorRed As Integer
colorRed = RGB(255, 0, 0)

To create a medium green color, use the following code:

Dim colorGreen As Integer
colorGreen = RGB(0, 128, 0)

To create a dark blue color, use the following code:

Dim colorBlue As Integer
colorBlue = RGB(0, 0, 128)

Common Issues

Ensure that the values specified for the red, green, and blue components are within the range of 0 to 255. If values outside this range are specified, the resulting color will be incorrect.

Integration

The RGB command can be combined with other VB Script commands to create more complex color effects. For example, the following code sets the background color of a form to a light gray color:

Form1.BackColor = RGB(224, 224, 224)
  • ForeColor: Sets the foreground color of text.
  • BackColor: Sets the background color of an object.
