Open a new workbook and modify the colors as you wish through
ToolsOptionsColors

Save the workbook as a Template(*.xlt) named BOOK

Store in your XLSTART folder and it will become the default New Workbook.

I know how to change colors in the palette, and I know how to copy a plalette
from a workbook to use in another workbook. Instead of doing that, I would
like to be able to modify the palette and save the modified palette as the
"standard" one, i.e, the one that would come up whenever you open a new Excel
workbook. This would avoid the need to open another workbook and copy colors
from it. Is there any way in the world to do this?
