Background Colours

I'm looking to create a Heat Chart and wanted to use several colours. Do you know where I can get a list of colours available?

Thanks in advance

You can create any color that you'd like using the RGB() function. Just enter your red, green, and blue values.

Thanks Nicole. I’m not familiar with the RBG() formula. Ideally I would like to see a list of colours and what they are called.

If you need help finding RGB values, this is a tool that I use: www.colorpicker.com

Also, if you go to Color in the QV Help, it will give you a list of some built in colors that QV has (like green(), blue(), etc.):

Does QV allow you to import your own colours then?

If you're making a heat map, you need to set the colors in one of two spots:

See the attached for an example.
