A color is an effect applied to an object that alters the object’s appearance by the way it reflects light. A color model is a system that defines the number and type of colors that make up an image and that isused to organize and define colors according to a set of basic properties that can be reproduced. Black-and-white, grayscale, RGB, CMYK, and paletted are examples of popular color modes.

The LAB color model is a color model created by the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE). It contains a luminance (or lightness) component (L) and two chromatic components: “a” (green to red) and “b” (blue to yellow). The LAB color mode is based on the LAB color model.

 For Each s In ActivePage.Shapes
  If s.Fill.Type = cdrUniformFill Then

  End If

End Sub
