Adding Custom Colors

In addition to the standard and theme colors, Excel allows you to add more colors to your workbook. These additional colors are available on each color button palette on the Ribbon or in a dialog box, such as the Fill Color or Font Color button. These colors are useful when you want to use a specific color, but the workbook color theme does not have that color. Colors that you add to a workbook appear in all color palettes and remain in the palette even if the color theme changes.
