SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Office Visio 2007 or in Microsoft Office Visio 2003, when you use the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) function to set the foreground color of the fill pattern of a shape to yellow, the color of the fill pattern is not yellow as expected. Instead, the color of the fill pattern is grey.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the FillForegnd cell of the shape's ShapeSheet is set to use the following string as a formula:

&quot;RGB(0,255,255)&quot;



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the following formula in the FillForegnd cell of the shape's ShapeSheet:

RGB(0,255,255)

Do not use a string as a formula in the FillForegnd cell. Use only the formula itself in the FillForegnd cell.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section of this article.
