Unexplained color shift

[daykirby]

Once every couple of weeks or so (I use excel a lot), for no apparent
reason, all the cell background colours (except white) will shift
slightly. When I open the color palettes, they have changed too.
Closing and reopening Excel tends to help (but not always). I have no
idea what is going on. Hopefully it's something I'm doing and not just
random. I wouldn't mind it so much, but sometimes I get dark text on a
dark bg. For instance, orange will turn brown, light blue turns dark
blue, pale yellow turns bright yellow. Sound familiar to anyone?

Just a wild guess...

You sure it's excel?

Maybe it's the video card, monitor, cable, display setting????

The issue seems transient and maybe due to other computer related issues.
Incase if it is due to Excel acting weird, you might want to uninstall and
reinstall MS-Office to see if it gets corrected.
