Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Hello ahmad95 - Welcome to the forum. Please take a look at the code below which using Cells A1, A2 and A3 as inputs to color a chart using RGB values. Hope this helps get you started. All the best.
VBA Code:
Sub ChartForeColor()
    ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
    With ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 1").Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(Range("A1").Value, Range("A2").Value, Range("A3").Value)
        .ForeColor.TintAndShade = 0
'        .ForeColor.Brightness = 0.6000000238
        .ForeColor.Brightness = 0.1
        .Transparency = 0
        .Solid
    End With
    
End Sub
