title: VBA numeric colour values for Access
body: <p>I am using Access 2013 and am finding difficulty in understanding which colour code is being used above all once a theme is setup..</p>
  
  <p>As an example, I have a text box which has the following colour code in the properties box:</p>
  
  <p>Sfondo 1, Più scuro 5%
  (sorry for the Italian)</p>
  
  <p>i need to simply find a way to get the 8 digit code so I can put it into VBA.</p>
  
  <p>I would be amazed if there is not some simple way to get this but up until now I have spent countless hours researching the matter with minimal success..</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Andrew</p>
