A code to show colour in cell from list

[Rick Rothstein]

Thank you Rick

This works just fine.Can it work without the word of the colour being visible.Just want the colour to be available

I guess the easiest way is to make the font color the same as the background color...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C3,E3,G3,I3,C9,E9,G9,I9,C15,E15,G15,I15")) Is Nothing Then
    Select Case Target.Value
      Case "RED": Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
      Case "BLUE ": Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 5
      Case "GREEN": Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
      Case "YELLOW": Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
      Case "WHITE": Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 2
    End Select
    Target.Font.ColorIndex = Target.Interior.ColorIndex
  End If
End Sub

I highlighted the line of code I added to do this so you can see how it is done.
