Change: Change the script given in the link to the following, as the script from microsoft uses color index which may count other shades of a color.

Function CountColor(range_data As range, criteria As range) As Long
    Dim datax As range
    Dim xcolor As Long
    xcolor = criteria.Interior.color
    For Each datax In range_data
        If datax.Interior.color = xcolor Then
           CountColor = CountColor + 1
        End If
    Next datax
End Function
