It just puts a black layer over the document. () cyclowonus: you are my hero, coloring at the top feels a bit funny but it's nothing i can't get used to.() Alex Stever: For some reason, it won't turn off, so i have to disable/re-enable the app.() Web 0: Un pugno negli occhi: fastidiose righe bianche sui contorni dei menù, scritte bianche per i menù contestuali, inoltre cambia il colore della pagina in grigio scuro, e la cosa sarebbe anche buona (anche se implementerei la funzione per disattivarla) se non fosse che il testo è evidenziato in bianco su uno sfondo grigio scuro! ripeto, un pugno negli occhi.() Henrico Salazar: this is super great! a suggestion though, could y'all make it so you can toggle on/off the extension, otherwise it's golden!.I can never see the grey highlight immediately and have to actually read the page for the word i'm looking for. the only thing i wish it had was a more visible highlight colour when searching for words. Now i write with white text on the black background, it's much easier on the eyes. () Tamsin McIntosh: This extension has saved my life! The fact that it changes the page colour as well is my favourite part about the extension.() Teerapat Kraisrisirikul: Unusable, it's too dark to see any text.Sorry, but as of now, I'm not a fan of it. I'm one for coloring my docs, so this is quite infuriating. I currently can't toggle the function off, and it automatically sets the doc's background color to a drab grey. () Kassiani Garcia: Personally, I really dislike this.You used the BGHEX() function to generate the Hexadecimal codes of all the colors in Google Sheets' color picker.

In this tutorial you learned how to write a custom function BGHEX() that returns the Hexadecimal code of a cell's background color. The table below lists all of the 80 colors in the color picker along with their names and Hex codes.

Hex codes of all the colors in Google Sheets' color picker The result should be a spreadsheet like the one below. Use the formula to generate Hex codes for all of the colors in the color picker. Step 4 - Populate the HEX codes for all the colors in the color picker Use the BGHEX() function in your spreadsheet to get the Hex code of any cell's background color.įor example, entering the formula =BGHEX(ROW(B1), COLUMN(B1)) results in the Hex code #000000, which is the Hex code for the color black. Step 3 - Use the function to populate the HEX codes in the spreadsheet Therefore, just knowing the value contained in the cell will not work and we need to explicitly tell the function the coordinates of the cell.


In this case, the function needs to know the coordinates of the cell in order to extract its background color. So, the function will not know which cell or range the values came from. When you call a custom function with a cell or a range as input, only the values in the cell or range are passed to the function. Why do we need to pass the row and column coordinates to the custom function? Why not just reference the cell directly like you would in other functions? The function takes the row and column coordinates of a single cell and it returns the background color of the cell. The above code creates a custom function that you can use from your spreadsheet like any other built-in function. Var background = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getDataRange().getCell(row, column).getBackground() * The Hexadecimal value of the cell's background color. * Returns the Hexadecimal value of a cell's background color. Open the script editor from the Tools menu (Tools -> Script editor) and replace the code in the editor with the code below. Step 1 - Create a Google Sheets spreadsheet and fill a couple of cells with different colors Step 2 - Write a Custom Function to return the HEX code of a cell's background color You know how to create a Custom Function using Google Apps Script. You're familiar with HTML color codes: What they are and how to use them. You're familiar with the basics of Google Sheets. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to get the Hexadecimal codes (also known as HTML color codes) of the colors in Google Sheets' color picker.
