Recently, I copied and saved a file. After I did this the Color Fill toolbar
button changed it's basic color schemes. The colors within the Color Fill box
were showing a slightly different color than normal. I do not recall doing
anything different than normal, but I may have. I download an excel file from
an HTML page, which I include in the excel workbook, but I am not sure why
this would cause the color change.
Can you help to explain why this would have happened, or what I may have
done to cause this?

Thank You,
 
If you create a new workbook from Excel's default are your colors the standard
scheme?

When the colors have been modified through Tools>Options>Color>Modify, these new
colors become set and saved with that particular workbook.

Will not affect other workbooks, existing or New.

Perhaps when combining the downloaded workbook/worksheet the color scheme from
that workbook became the default for that workbook.

Yes, the colors are the standard scheme in a new workbook. When I download
the html report it is also in the standard color scheme. I am wondering if it
has something to do with copying the file. Although the original file had the
good color scheme, and I had not modified the colors at all.
 
Not knowing how the file was copied and to where, I am only guessing.

In Tools>Options>Color there is a dialog box where you can "copy colors from"
and choose a workbook.

Perhaps an inadvertant copy from was done?

I have a similar problem of the available colour palette being different
between spreadsheets. This poses a problem as I like to colour certain
cells to highlight particular functions and I cannot have a 'one colour fits
all' on some spreadsheets. I have not changed the colour palette so, in
theory, they should all be the 'default' setting.

Thanks.
