Using modified color in excel

[Karmen]

Hello,
I have modified several colors in a worksheet, what can I do to verify
the user sees the same color as I intended (I understand the
differences in monitors, software, etc - but would like a similar color
to show.

Thank You

Hi Karmen,

If you have modified the colour palette, then that palette will be saved
with your workbook. Other users will see the same colours - or, at least the
same colour values.

Monitors are not all calibrated the same, so you might be surprised at how
different the same RGB colour value can look on different monitors.

For more info on how Excel treats colours look at;

To modify the colour palette, and save it as a small file that can be
distributed - download 'Colour Palette Tool' ffom
