Default Cell Fill colours

Excel has a colour palette of 56 colours. You can set any of these using
ToolsOptionsColorModify. But that is it, although you could set another
colour in code say, excel will map it to the nearest applicable colour in
the palette.

Hi,

I want to make a cell a colour and I do this using Cell Fill on the
Drawing
Toolbar, but there are only 40 colours to choose from, more than enough
some
might say.

However, I've noticed in the Font Colour in Word there is a More Colours
option which lets you specify the Red, Green and Blue amounts.

How can I do the same in Excel?

Thanks.
