Remarks:

The MatchColor method finds the closest match for a color from the given palette.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates red by using the CMYK color model and then converts the color to an RGB color. The MatchColor method then finds the closest match from the active palette and displays the name of that color.

Sub TestPalette()
  Dim pal As Palette
  Dim cColor As Color
  Dim i As Integer
  Set pal = ActivePalette
  Set cColor = CreateCMYKColor(0, 100, 100, 0) 'Red
  cColor.ConvertToRGB
  i = pal.MatchColor(cColor)
  MsgBox pal.Color(i).Name
End Sub
