Excel Colours - Quick Question

[DJB]

Hi all

Each Excel workbook can hold a palette of 56 colours, why is it that the colour picker tool on the Formatting toolbar will only show 40 colours (on a 5 x 8 grid)?

Thanks for anyone supplying enlightenment!

I think it's the same reason hotdogs are sold in packages of 10, but hotdog buns
come in packages of 8.

Who knows why? But you could request a change by sending an email to:

Thanks for that, Dave.

I'm not that bothered about it - just wondered if there was a more sinister reason for it.
