I was hoping to be able to type in colors such as DDEEEE, so I could make
colors match my web site, as NOF alows.

Hi widman,

Is there any way to type the 6 letter color code into Excel for a
background?

If you mean the RGB value, use menu Tools -- Options -- Color tab --
Modify -- Custom

If you want to enter the HSL color value, then you should download my
'Colour Palette Tool' from http://www.edferrero.com/charting.aspx
