How can I shade columns but keep grid?

Everytime I use the fill function it darkens out the grid lines. I'd
like a nice light gray or off white for a few columns as contrast but
keep the grid in black. Help, please.
 
You'll have to *make* the grid lines on pattern filled cells using the:
<Format> <Cells> <Borders> tab.
 
Fill colors just paint right over the gridlines, don't they? I think about
all you can do is put borders in the cells. Use either the Border tool on
the Formatting Toolbar (you get black borders only), or use Format - Cells -
Borders. You can select several line styles, thicknesses, and colors there
for borders.
