I was able to find the option, it seems to be the one which matches my needs
but it has the same results. Color x appears consecutively in several rows
and columns, yet it replaced with color y in only the first row that too only
alternate cells?

After you expand the Options, you can click on Format.

Then there's a Patterns tab that lets you change the fill color.

I have a workbook with several shets. There are a few cells in every sheet
which have a fill color say 'x'. I want to replace these cells with color
'y'. I attempted find replace format. In the format option in the replace
card, I could not find the 'fill color' option(there was only the font color
option). Then I fill colored a cell with the desired color and chose it in
'choose format from cell' option. When I hit 'replace all', it colored only
seemingly alternate cells with desired colors. How can I do it?
