Very common problem posted many times in these Excel newsgroups.

MS should offer a warning when users change to High Contrast.

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 for users'
profiles.

Info only...............Excel does not have a BOOK.XLT unless one is created
by user.

Log in as a user and no fill colors can be seen nor can I add any to ANY
worksheet or workbook. Log in as Admin and the colors are there and usable.
Palet is present in ADMIN mode but not in user mode. What happened and how
can I restore colors to the user on the computer, cannot allow this person to
be ADMIN. Help.. Thanks a big bunch. I think they may have deleted their main
BOOK.XLT properties or something along that line.
