Using Excel 2000.

When I use the auto-filter and filter on a given column, the down arrow
shows as blue. Unfiltered is black. The colors look very similar.

Is there a way to change the filtered color?

Thanks!

There's no way to change the colour of the filter arrows.

If you can use programming, there's a sample file here in which the
heading cell is coloured if a filter is applied to that field:

Under Filters, look for 'Colour Filter Headings'

Or, without programming, you can colour all the headings if any column
in the table has been filtered. For example:

Select all the headings
Choose FormatConditional Formatting
From the first dropdown, choose Formula Is
In the formula box, type:
=COUNTA($A:$A)<SUBTOTAL(3,$A:$A)
Click the Format button
On the Patterns tab, select a colour
Click OK, click OK
