The problem I am having with this method is that I have colors coming across with names like: "100% Corel Black" or really random colors like: "HKS 03K 100% - K 10%" . Is there a certain type of color I should be looking for using CQL?

Maybe...

Dim fill As ShapeRange

Set fill = ActiveSelection.Shapes.FindShapes(Query:="@fill.color= ' 100% Corel Black ' ") 'Find Color by Name

fill.ApplyUniformFill CreateRGBColor(205,0,0) 'Replace Named Color With This Value

If that is the color of the "name" then this may work. If not - then not sure... :/

No. I think it is because it is a spot color, but trying to find the '100% Corel Black' as a named color is not working with this method.
