Color Options
 
I've noticed that Excel has fewer color options than PowerPoint. For
instance, in PowerPoint, I can easily duplicate a color going to Custom
colors and typing in the RGB. But in Excel, all I can do is choose between a
few colors for column charts, plot backgrounds, etc. I use Excel to create
linked column charts for PowerPoint and would like to be able to set up the
colors to match my existing color schemes. In it's present form, I can only
approximate the colors, not match them.

Color Options
 
You can customize the color pallette by going to Tools/Options/Color, select
any color then click on Modify, you can enter the RGB under the "Custom" tab.
