how do you create a custom font colour. i want to use a specific colour that isnt in the font colour pallette options. i can make a new colour if i make an object and put type in it but i just want to have more control over the colour of normal type in cells - is it possible or am i limited to the standard colour pallette?

Hi,

When formatting text you can choose from up to 56 different colors,
which you can control.

Use the Excel menu and choose Preferences. In the Authoring section
choose Color. Select one of the colors you wish to specify, then click
the Modify button.
