    Change Theme colors and shades

    Hi all,

    We have standard colors that shall be used for official documents, and different sets of shading of those colors.

    In Excel 2019 under page layout - themes - colors I am able to customize colors, but only 10 + 2 for links and save this as a theme. When using the colors for example for a fill of a cell under home --> font I have the 10 colors I was able to amend and then different shades. Those shades however do not match the shades that are "official". Can I change the lower part (see pic in attachment) to the colors that I actually need? The ones at the top are correct already, but the shading that Excel does automatically is not.

    Can I change that somehow so that I don't always have to enter the RGB?

    Thanks

    no, you can't change what's in the excel interface. that was created by lower level coding languages. for instance, C and C++, which is what Excel is written in. is that what you want to hear? your questions are still a little vague.

    Thanks. That is not necessarily what I want to hear, but it answers my question.
    So in other words I can only customize 10 colors and for the rest, I have to use either Excel color shading or put in the code every time I need it. :-/

    Thanks for the help!
