You can't, not in current Excel.


Actually, you CAN, but you can only change one of the existing 56
colours in the workbook (including the 16 chart colours below the main
40 in the Format Cells dialog), not introduce more than 56 colours.


Therefore you can't.


Bob, the OP asked "I was wondering if there is any way to display the
(more colors) color wheel", not "I was wondering whether there was any
way to increase the number of colours".

Granted their statement "Currenly I only get the block of 40 colors"
might have thrown some ambiguity in, but as to whether or not you can
display if not the colour wheel but a dialog with corresponding
functionality, yes, you can.
