trying to make borders gray

[Joe]

I want to color my borders gray but I'm finding it tedious to actually
color them in using the pencil tool. Is there any way to make it the
default so I can just click the box to draw all borders? Every time I
pick the color gray when I click the box in the tool bar it comes out
black

Hi Joe,

Select the cells and go to Format>Cells>Border Tab.
You can change the color in the bottom right corner.
You need to delete the borders and then re-instate them
for the change to take effect.

I tried that but every time I do it no matter what color I pick it
comes out black

Hi,

I am effectively reiterating what Martin said ... because at my first
attempt I fell into the same trap that I suspect you are falling into ...

Remove the border (Select "None").

Then pick your shade of grey.

Then reinstate the border.

Cheers,

Matt
