title: Setting a font color in VBA
body: <p>I want to set the font color of a cell to a specific RGB value.</p>
  
  <p>If I use</p>
  
  <pre><code>ActiveCell.Color = RGB(255,255,0)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I do get yellow, but if I use a more exotic RGB value like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ActiveCell.Color = RGB(178, 150, 109)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just get a grey color back.</p>
  
  <p>How come can't I just use any RGB value? And do you know any workarounds?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
