Color Formats

[Guest]

I create most of my spreadsheets on my desktop. I also have a laptop
connected to the same network. I just opened a spreadsheet on my laptop and
the color format looks different then the one on my Desktop PC. I changed a
couple colors on the color pallete on my Desktop PC and use those in some
reports but looks like if the color palletes not the same as someone else is
will look different? Is that right?
Is there a way to fix this? If I create a custom grey color and add it to a
header I'd like it to be grey on everyones computer.
This example I used custom light grey on my PC but when I opened it on my
laptop in was an ugly yellow. If I go to change colors the sqaure box (box
area color your choosing)is in the same area for both spreadsheets but one
color on the pallete in grey and the others yellow.
Sorry for the long post, hope this makes sense.
Thanks

Excel has, I believe, 56 standard recognised colours as per the
attached. These colours should reflect reasonable standard on most
systems (as they do on my laptop and my PC).

If you wish to setup other (mix-and-match) colours then I recommend
that you do so on the laptop, (the lesser system), which should then
reflect similarly on the pc.

Hope this helps

The problem occurs in the screen resolution.

Also, if you use custom formats they will not be the same when another user
opens the workbook as his/her pallete will be different to yours.
