There was not enough information in your post to know how you changed the
color but this worked for me on xl2k
ToolsoptionsColor, select the color you want to permanently change,
Modify, make the changes and "OK" out and it is done. If you want that
color now it is there. If you want it again later save the file and it will
be there when you open.

I have looked at past questions for fill color but I cannot make it work. I
want to change one of the fill color choices permanently. I make the change
; save the file ; close the file ; and when I reopen the file the color has
been reset to what it was before I changed it. How do I change it
permanently.

Thank you,
