Cell Shading
Does anyone know if it is possible to get apply a broader range of colours to a cells shading? You seem to be limited to 40 standard colours from the patterns tab of the format cells dialog but you have a lot more flexibility for colouring a drawing object for example. -- blatham ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blatham's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=19441 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=501460 |

Cell Shading
You can use 56 colors in a workbook.
You can see the current color scheme via: tools|Options|color tab You can change any of the 56 to something else by clicking modify. And you can see all 56 colors if you go through the format|cells|pattern tab. You can read lots more about how excel works with colors at David McRitchie's site: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/colors.htm blatham wrote: Does anyone know if it is possible to get apply a broader range of colours to a cells shading?
