Thanks, Mike, that looked so easy but I still got the pale brown until I read what you had written properly and took note of it! Then, of course, it worked.
Many thanks. Understanding the hex is easy enough but what is the <compPartColor> that replaces the Color syntax? Regards, Alastair.

My EEP works fine as far as changing the colour goes but I thought that it was possible to substitute the RGB codes in place of the colour names. The codes do seem to work but give the wrong colour!! I checked in the Properties.pdf help and find that it lists the names of 22 background colours that are available. Is this one of those cases where the codes cannot be substituted? (I am using: (182, 254, 254) as the custom colour when the control is defined which is close to Aqua but paler and is showing up as a pale-ish brown when those codes are used in the property command to return it to my custom colour. It happily changes correctly to RED or GREEN via the EEP.) Thanks in advance for any insights, Regards, Alastair.
