For most formatting aspects in a workbook the format colours are taken from
the palette of 56 colours. If the palette is customized it's saved with the
workbook, so your recipient should see the same palette and any formatted
colours. However the automatic colours for fill and font are determined by
the user's system colours, typically white and black, but not necessarily.
Is it these colours that don't appear the same.

Hello,

When I email someone a file, the formatting (colors) change... How do I
ensure the file they open looks just like the one I sent?

Thanks!
