    Excel color pallett changed to dull colors !

    Hi,

    Having a problem with my color pallett in my excel which has strangely changed to dull colors. Have tried to go tp Page Layout > Colors > Reset but not working.
    Any ideas on how to get back default colors ?

    Thanks !

    That looks to be the standard colour pallet, at least it is for 365

    I've no idea what the default colour pallet for 2016 was, or if it was any different to the current one.

    Is your forum profile up-to-date? It says Excel 2003 and Excel 2010. If that's no longer accurate, please update it.
