Default ***Cell Shading (Fill Color)***

Why not just train people not to do that?

You could write some complicated VBA code that checks the content of a
cell to see if it contains hard coded values. In the Worksheet_Change
Event, it could act as a realtime monitor. There are also some
spreadsheet auditing programs that can do this for you. Check out:

Please help.

Thank you!!
