color, problem

[ArtieDi]

I have trouble getting color in my excel sheets.Any suggestions

Seems like a very ambiguous question to me. Take a look at
Color Palette and the 56 Excel ColorIndex Colors
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/colors.htm

If you want to change all of the cells on a worksheet, first use
Ctrl+A (or the gray button above row numbers and left of column letters)
then use Format menu where you can change font, border, patterns (inside color)

If the fill colours aren't appearing, the high contrast setting may be
turned on. There's information in the following MSKB article:

OFF: Changes to Fill Color and Fill Pattern Are Not Displayed
