Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition RGB Function | Language Reference Version 2

##### Description

> Returns a whole number representing an RGB color value.

##### Syntax

> RGB(red, green, blue)

> The RGB function has these parts:

> Part | Description
> red | Required. Number in the range 0-255 representing the red component of the color.
> green | Required. Number in the range 0-255 representing the green component of the color.
> blue | Required. Number in the range 0-255 representing the blue component of the color.

##### Remarks

> Application methods and properties that accept a color specification expect that specification to be a number representing an RGB color value. An RGB color value specifies the relative intensity of red, green, and blue to cause a specific color to be displayed.

> The low-order byte contains the value for red, the middle byte contains the value for green, and the high-order byte contains the value for blue.

> For applications that require the byte order to be reversed, the following function will provide the same information with the bytes reversed:

> >     Function RevRGB(red, green, blue)
> >         RevRGB= CLng(blue + (green * 256) + (red * 65536))
> >     End Function

> The value for any argument to RGB that exceeds 255 is assumed to be 255.
