The Excel 2007 color system is pretty much incompatible with prior versions. I'm still in the process of getting my head around it. There are a couple of very good posts by Tony Jollans in the Professional Office Developers Association blog that I've found very helpful: Colours in Word 2007, Parts 1 and 2 http://proofficedev.com/blog/2007/08/ http://proofficedev.com/blog/2007/10/10/ It says Word 2007, but Office 2007 uses the same color methodology across all applications.

Mostly because I think most Excel users like the new palette better - it has nearly unlimited options and the default colors in the palette are better thematically than in previous versions. -Clint Don,

I don't understand the coding you show. Is there a simple keystroke guide to setting up the "Classic" 40/56 color palette for use as the default in Excel 2007? This is really important stuff and I need it badly but I really don't understand the above presentation -- too technical for me.
