How do I change the color for highlighting cells

I am relatively new to Excel and have just started using Excel 2007. The
color used when highlighting a cell is a very faint grey and hard to see. I
was wondering if there was a way to change it

This is a problem that several others have complained about - you're not
alone! There doesn't seem to be a good way to do anything to change it using
Excel 2007's 'native' settings. You can try changing the color scheme, but I
personally don't see much improvement using any of them.

However, you may try Chip Pearson's RowHighlighter add-in and see if that
doesn't give some relief:

Yes, it says for 97/2000, but I believe it'll work in 2007 also (although I
haven't tested it in 2007, guess I should one of these days).
