Generating Colour in Excel Cells

In summary, to generate a specific color in an Excel cell, use the "Fill Color" feature in the "Home" tab and choose the desired color from the color palette. Custom colors can also be used by selecting "More Colors" and adjusting the RGB values. To apply a color to multiple cells at once, select all the cells, click on the "Fill Color" button, and choose the desired color. Conditional formatting can be used to generate a color based on a specific value or condition. To remove a color from an Excel cell, select the cell and choose "No Fill" from the color palette.

Im trying to colour excel cells using (r,g,b) values.

I understand its possible to do this through macros or through custom functions.

Any suggestions / solutions?

Macros are a good idea. There is a VBA function to color them. You can look it up, or record a macro and then analyze how it got recorded.
