Each Excel workbook can hold a palette of 56 colours, why is it that
the colour picker tool on the Formatting toolbar will only show 40
colours (on a 5 x 8 grid)?

Thanks for anyone supplying enlightenment!

Who knows why? But you could request a change by sending an email to:

Thanks for that, Dave.

I'm not that bothered about it - just wondered if there was a more
