If you want the colored gridlines to be the default for *every new
workbook*:

Open a new workbook
Goto ToolsOptionsView tabGridlines color
Select the desired color
OK out

Save this file as your default:
Goto FileSave As
File name: Book
Save as type: Template (*.xlt)
Save in: your XLStart directory

Where that is on your computer I don't know. On my machine its path is:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\XLStart
