How do I change the active highlight color of an active cell.

change highlight color on active cells

Only though VBA.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Static OldCell As Range
If Not OldCell Is Nothing Then
OldCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End If
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'yellow
Set OldCell = Target
End Sub

This is sheet event code.

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code". Copy and paste into that
module.

Chip Pearson has a great add-in named Rowliner.xla that will make the
highlighting available for all sheets and workbooks.

The code above was cribbed from Chip to start with.
