I'm trying to use VBA to recolor a picture on a slide, to the same value as
presented in the user interface in Picture Tools, Format, Adjust, Recolor,
Light Variations, "Background color 2 Light".
I understand to set a picture to grayscale is
ActivePresentation.Slides(5).Shapes("Pic").PictureFormat.ColorType =
msoPictureGrayscale
which is close, but ideally I wish set the color as the user interface does
above.
Thanks in advance for any ideas on this.

Will,
Recolor is not natively supported in the PowerPoint object model.

Thanks - is there any other kind of way of setting coloring to "light"?

I'm reading between the lines here having seen your other post.
If you already have a picture set to "light" (maybe off screen) as you need
you could use .pickup and .apply to set others to the same setting.
