I would have to say that the default color scheme in Excel 2007 is really
hideous. Is there some way of making the default colours the same as they
were in Excel 2003.

From another similar question:
QUOTE
Create a custom template. Open a blank workbook, make whatever
changes you want your default workbook to look like. It could be
printing, styles, fonts, etc. Click Save As, select 'Save as type' as
Template (this will place the template in the correct location
automatically), type the name as Book.XLT. Voila.

Thanks guys for these suggestions but I want to take the complete set of
colors that exists in 2003 instead of just the odd one here or there. Is
there a quick way of doing this?

Changing the color scheme is easy ... I coincidentally posted the directions
on my blog today.

Your blog entry will not help the user change his colors in Excel 2007.
