Number Format - Dark Green if Positive and Red if negative

Experts, how can i shade a positive number a darker green than what shows below? 

this is what I am using

[Green]€#,##0.00;[Red](€#,##0.00);[Green]€#,##0.00

 

I have tried replacing "Green" with Dark Green and Color5 but those names dont seem to be in the list of available colors.  

 

 

thank you

 

  • Hi,

     

    In the Format property you are constrained to the 8 available colors:

    Black, Blue, Green, Cyan, Red, Magenta, Yellow, White

     

    Whereas in a form you can use the Conditional Formatting feature with a much wider range of colors, even very dark green. 😉

    Tony2021 you can use custom color numbers. For a darker green, use Color 10.

    Here is my formatting for SERP rankings, where a lower number is better. (moving from position 10 to 8 is -2 but actually better) [Red]#,##0.000_);[Color10](#,##0.000)
