What defines the color of characters in excel?

Answer:
The cell format and font format.
The following is a very simple macro that will change the font in the selected cell to blue:

Sub Make_Blue
'
With Selection.Font
.Color = -4165632
.TintAndShade = 0
End With

End Sub

From the macro, you can see that the VB definition of color is numeric and is stored as Font.Color.
