Default Why doesn't color show in Excel table unless I highlight?

When I open a spreadsheet the colors in the cells do not show up unless I
highlight the area. Then when I select a cell all of the colored cells
appear unfilled. To see the color fill I again have to highlight the desired
area. How do I change that?

Might be this setting.

Check this out................

The fill color, the fill pattern, or the line color of a WordArt or
AutoShape object in an Office document does not change

As directed, change the High Contrast setting in Windows OS
