How to shade cells - but keep cell borders

I change the colour of a row or column.
All cell outlines are colored.
How do I change the color BUT keep the outlines of cells.
I know it's always been like this on Excel.
But surely some genius thought sometimes people might like to keep outlines?

I don't really want to change the color of outlines.
I'm happy with the dull grey color it has.

EDIT: I've just tried changing the borders of entire worksheet,
It doesn't matter what color you choose, it always makes it black.
The current version I am using is Excel 2013.

Thanks.
