    Need to change cell color based off of RGB Color being defined in 3 cells

    I would like to be able to automatically have excel change the cell color in column "L" by using the Red Green Blue values that are defined in the corresponding Columns "F-G". I have attached a sheet to use as a reference. I don't have a clue where to start. I would only have a maximum of 15 rows. Thanks,

    John, it does help, but I have the RGB Colors being added via a Vlookup process based off of the Pantone Color. When it populates the RGB Fields, it doesn't change the cell color unless I manually type in one of the RGB Values.
