Need to make highlight color brighter

[Dawn Reda]

When I highlight cells I have a hard time seeing which ones are
highlighted because the color is a very light purple. I am running
Mac OS X and Microsoft Excel X for Mac. I've tried everything I can
think of. I've changed the color in system prefrences as well and
nothing as worked. Any Suggestion?????

XLv.X pulls the highlight color from the System preferences/General
tab. You will need to close and reopen XL for it to take effect.
