What you described sounds OK, but your code indicates you actually did something else.

For the code in my last post, I simply started the macro recorder, gave the macro the name 'Blue', then recorded setting the font to a blue colour, via Font Color >More colors>Standard, then picked a blue spot near the top right and clicked OK, after which I stopped recording.
