Sub CheckTab()

    ' Determine if color index of 1st tab is set to none.
    If Worksheets(1).Tab.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone Then
        MsgBox "The color index is set to none for the first " & _
            "worksheet tab."
    Else
        MsgBox "The color index for the tab of the first worksheet " & _
            "is not set none."
    End If

End Sub
