Perhaps some worksheet code like the following?

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Static OldCell As Range
If Not OldCell Is Nothing Then
OldCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End If
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Set OldCell = Target
End Sub

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code". See if any code in that module.

OR could be some code in the ThisWorkbook Module.
