Colors in excel

[Keith A. Colson]

I'm trying to generate reports with some color. I'm going to format cells, pattern, to set a cell background color. The options are very limited. Is there a way to have more color options?

You have a limited pallette of 56 colors in a workbook. You can modify the
colors (tools|options|color tab), but no more than 56.
