To expand a bit, the Interior property contains 2 color indexes, Color and ColorIndex. Following are a couple examples:
Cells(2,2).Interior.ColorIndex = 35
Range("A2").Interior.ColorIndex = 35
Sheets(2).Select
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 35
As suggested, turn on the macro recorder, change some colors and then look at the code that was generated.
Have a great day!

Hello Hulisi,
As before, turn on the Macro recorder, do the things you need to do with borders and see what it generates. I don't know what you mean by combining some cells. Can you give an example of what you are trying to do? Good Luck!
Have a great day!

Hello Hulisi,
Check out SpecialCells in Help. If you use it with LastCell (eg LastRow = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row, LastCol = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column) you can then define a range object to do what you need. Ensure that your formatting tool bar is turned on and then record the formmatting you need. Then do something like the following with the code it creates:
Range(Cells(1,1), Cells(LastRow, LastCol)).yourcodegoeshere
Cells has row first and column second so Cells(1,1) = A1
Have a great day!
