ColorFormat object (Word)
Represents the color of a one-color object or the foreground or background color of an object with a gradient or patterned fill. You can set colors to an explicit red-green-blue value by using the RGB property.

| BackColor | FillFormat | Background fill color (used in a shaded or patterned fill) |
| ForeColor | FillFormat | Foreground fill color (or the fill color for a solid fill) |
| BackColor | LineFormat | Background line color (used in a patterned line) |

Use the RGB property to set a color to an explicit red-green-blue value. The following example adds a rectangle to the active document and then sets the foreground color, background color, and gradient for the rectangle's fill.
With ActiveDocument.Shapes _
.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 90, 90, 90, 50).Fill
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 0, 0)
.BackColor.RGB = RGB(170, 170, 170)
.TwoColorGradient msoGradientHorizontal, 1
End With
