It is a known issue and it is by design, maybe they just didn't think about
it

I need the answer to this question as well. It is not a monitor issue. I
am
using a Laptop and the selection highlight in Excel 2003 is MUCH better
than
the very light hightlight in Excel 2007 and I am using the same Laptop.

Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Teddy,

Before you go to trouble to attempt to change the selection color, try
messing with the
controls on your monitor. Try changing the brightness and contrast, and
any other similar
controls you may have. Don't mess with the geometry controls (picture
size, pincushion,
tilt, etc.). The selection color is quite visible normally -- quite dark
enough. If that
doesn't pan out, go into the driver of your monitor and see if it has a
gamma adjustment,
which might be set too high.

For excel 2007 - How can I change the cell/row/column selection color?
The
default light blue/grey does not show up well.
