title: How to get the background color from a Conditional Formatting in Excel using VBA
body: <p>I would like to obtain the cell background color assigned using a conditional formatting rule in Excel in my VBA script. I realized that using <code>Range.Interior.Color</code> property doesn't have the color resulting of an applied conditional formatting feature from Excel.</p>
  
  <p>I did some research and I found this long way <a href="http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/CFColors.htm" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, it compiles and runs but I don't get the assigned color [I get always (255,255,255)]</p>
  
  <p>I am using Excel 2016 and I am wondering if there is a simpler way to obtain this information using some built-in VBA function or using any other excel trick.</p>
