A worksheet can only display 56 predefined colors (the palette).

You will need to redefine the palette to provide the colors you need or you
will get the behavior you describe.

A posible workaround is to use a shape/autoshape instead of a cell as these
can display more simultaneous colors.

Hi!

I've used the following code to change the cell color.

Sub dfghrth()

ActiveCell.Interior.Color = RGB(221, 255, 221)

End Sub



But instead of actually changing to the color I've defined, it changes
to a pallette default color...

Help anyone?
