allow fill color to protected cell

I have a protected sheet and just want to allow the user to paint on it (fill
color)

Rafael,

When you protect the sheet, make sure you select the Format Cells
option in the list of edit permissions. Unfortunately, this also
allows the user to change other things about the format like border,
font, etc...

Which version of Excel?

2002 and newer allow cell formatting when protected.

Tools>Options>Protect Sheet.

Choose from the options in the dialog box.
