RGB Function

Returns a Long integer color value consisting of red, green, and blue components.

red: Any integer expression that represents the red component (0-255) of the composite color. green: Any integer expression that represents the green component (0-255) of the composite color. blue: Any integer expression that represents the blue component (0-255) of the composite color.
The resulting Long value is calculated with the following formula:
Result = red×65536 + green×256 + blue.
Under VBA compatibility mode (Option VBASupport 1), the Long value is calculated as
Result = red + green×256 + blue×65536
