Default In Excel, colour formatting (text and background) reverts to blk

When I have formatted cells in Excel (or some features, like WordArt, in
other applications) the chosen colour fails to appear on the screen, although
printing is unaffected.
Oddly, in Excel, data appears in the chosen colour as it is being entered
but reverts to black as soon as the carriage return is pressed. How can I
restore WYSIWYG?

This is a Windows High Contrast setting.

The fill color, the fill pattern, or the line color of a WordArt or
AutoShape object in an Office document does not change
