Hello

Is it possible to use more subtle highlighting colours, when you are writing an email in Outlook (365)?

BACKGROUND
To be honest, the existing choice of colours that can be used to highlight emails is so dated & crass. Yuk!


Surely there has to be a way to change the choice of colours, no?

We're probably stuck with those choices. I've written Word macros to set highlight colour via code like this:


Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdNoHightlight


After the equal sign, you can substitute values such as...



wdYellow
wdTurquoise
wdBrightGreen
wdGray25

There are 20 available colours. If there's a way to create custom highlight colours, that's way beyond my skill set! I doubt it can be done.



I don't know Outlook VBA nearly as well as Word VBA, but it's hard to imagine this would be different in Outlook.
