A collection of all the ColorScheme objects in Microsoft Publisher. Each ColorScheme object represents a color scheme, which is a set of colors that are used in a publication.

 ActiveDocument.ColorScheme _ 
 = ColorSchemes.Item(pbColorSchemeWildflower) 
End Sub

Use the Name property to return a color scheme name. The following example lists in a text box all the color schemes available to Publisher.

Sub ListColorShemes() 
 
 Dim clrScheme As ColorScheme

 For Each clrScheme In Application.ColorSchemes 
 strSchemes = strSchemes & clrScheme.Name & vbLf 
 Next 
 ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes.AddTextbox( _ 
 Orientation:=pbTextOrientationHorizontal, _ 
 Left:=72, Top:=72, Width:=400, Height:=500).TextFrame _ 
 .TextRange.Text = strSchemes
