Jomni, the answer is no -- with an asterisk.
When formatting a cell, you can only pick from the 40 colors that appear (in
Excel 2003 at least) on the color palette. But -- and here's the asterisk --
you can modify that color palette at any time (except when you're actually
using it).
To change Excel's available colors, pull down the Tools menu and select
Options > Color > Modify.

Hi "jomni >" <<[email protected]>,
You are limited to 56 colors, if you are looking at the
colors with two rows for charts beneath, then you are looking
at your full selection. (some colors are repeated)
I wouldn't change the colors without a good reason,
especially if other people would be involved, but you can
change any of the colors in the color palette.
Under Tools, Options, Colors
you can modify a color in the selection and that
applies to the entire workbook. It will change existing
use of color.

Hi "jomni >" <<[email protected]> ,
Anybody who opens your workbook should see pink.
You can have two different workbooks open and change
between the two on the Window (excel menu) to see for yourself
that it affects only the one workbook.
