How to change color of "found" cell when using find/replace

[midgemidge]

When I use find/replace, I can barely see the "found" cell because it's
outlined in a very pale peach color. I need to change the color to something
I can actually see, but I can't figure where to do that. Can anyone help
please?

The highlight color of the cell is set in the appearance preferences. After
changing the preferences you will have to quit and restart Excel.

That's the operating system preferences, not the application
preferences (you knew that already, but some people like me need to be
told these things once in a while).

Thank you so much. No, I didn't know it meant the system preferences.
I was only looking in Excel preferences and banging my head against the
wall. I customized the color and now I can see the "found" cells very
quickly. Thanks for eliminating one of the many frustrations of life.
