Default how 'come green isn't green?


This one has perplexed me for years...

If I do "Format/Cells...", "Number" tab, and type in a new number
format like this...

[Green]$ #,##0.00_-;[Red]-$ #,##0.00_-

and look at the output for positive numbers, the green colour presented
is the 4th one down from the top of the color grid (a bright green,
almost neon color) instead of the green that is the 2nd one down from
the top (a real dark green colour, like money (or grass)).

Anyone know how to get the formatting to show the 'good' dark green
colour, not the bright neon green.

Just wonderin' all these years...

Eric
