Re: Lighter 80 Fill Color Excel
Grosvenor Styles
The "Office" theme Orange, Accent 6 is RGB(247,150,70). To find this I highlighted a cell, colored it the orange color from 'Office' theme and then used the drop down from the fill option --> More Colors and read the RGB values from that.
In Excel, you can use a formula to count the total number of cells that have a specific color fill. This can be useful when you want to analyze or track cells with a particular color. In this case, we will focus on counting cells that are color filled with blue, accent 1, lighter 40%. Here's how you can write the formula to achieve this:
Let's consider an example to understand how this formula works. Suppose we have a range of cells from A1 to A10, and cells A2, A4, A6, and A8 are color filled with blue, accent 1, lighter 40%. If we apply the formula =COUNTIF(A1:A10,CELL("color",A1:A10)=5), it will return the value 4, indicating that there are 4 cells with the specified color fill.
If cells A2, A4, A6, and A8 are color filled with blue, accent 1, lighter 40%, the formula =COUNTIF(A1:A10,CELL("color",A1:A10)=5) would return the value 4, indicating that there are 4 cells with the specified color.
For example, this is how you make gradient fill blue data bars:To add solid fill data bars in Excel, pick the color of your choice under Solid Fill:To fine-tune the appearance and settings your data bars, select any of the formatted cells, click Conditional Formatting > Manage Rule > Edit, and then choose the desired color and other options.
Tip. To make the differences among the bars more noticeable, make the column wider than usual, especially if the values are also displayed in cells. In a wider column, the values will be positioned over the lighter part of a gradient fill bar.

To apply the blue, accent 1, lighter 80ill color to the range a4:g4, you can use a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel. In Excel, select the range a4:g4 by clicking on cell A4 and dragging the cursor to cell G4. Then, go to the 'Home' tab, click on the 'Fill Color' drop-down menu, and choose the shade of blue under the 'Theme Colors' section that represents 'accent 1, lighter 80%'. This will apply the desired color to the selected range.
Macabacus' Recolor dialog, accessed via the Macabacus > Color Tools > Recolor button, is essentially a find-and-replace tool for colors in a presentation. You can swap colors in an entire presentation, a single slide, or a single shape, specifying whether you want to replace the font, fill, and/or border/line colors. Macabacus can even swap colors in slide masters, custom layouts, charts, tables, and SmartArt. Macabacus cannot swap colors in pictures or embedded objects.
PowerPoint users often adjust the transparency properties of shapes in order to create lighter shades of darker colors. This is poor practice, since semi-transparent colors often reduce PDF and print quality, take longer to load on screen (particularly on mobile devices), and inflate file size. Click the Macabacus > Color Tools > Fix Transparent Fill button to replace semi-transparent colors in selected shapes with a solid, lighter color that appears identical to the semi-transparent color.
Manually if you want to change the darkness/brightness of a color by hand and without even looking at it. in hex or rgb is really easy just add or substract an equal ammount of light to each channel.
Say in rgb you have 132,145,167 yo can add 30 to each number to get a lighter version of the same color so 162,175,207, and if the you realize you over did it by just a bit then subtract 2 from each so 160,173,205. Same with hex but in hex numbers. so e4c3d5 is e4 c3 d5 you can add 16 to make it lighter f4d3e5 or subtract 16 to make darker version of the same color d4b3c5.
You can add or substract as much as you want, and you will get better at guessing the right ammount to add and substract overtime, as long as you add the same ammount to all three channels (all three numbers) you will only change the how much white you add or remove from the mixture.
Some CPAs like to change gridlines to something lighter, such as light blue, so they don't clutter the screen as much. Personally, I prefer no gridlines. Instead, I insert borders where I want gridlines to appear, such as in tables where my worksheet assumptions are entered. Also note that your gridline color can be different for each worksheet in your Excel workbook.

by TheExcelAddict.com"Helping Average Spreadsheet Users Become Local Spreadsheet Experts"Create 3D Effects In Your CellsUsually I try to share tips with you that will help you become more productive, however this one may have the opposite effect. But it's a pretty neat trick I thought you might like, and as long as you don't get too carried away with it and waste too much time, a bit of fun won't hurt.
Today, I'd like to show you how to spice up your worksheet by creating cool 3D effects with cell formatting. Try this on a new worksheet.
- Select a range of cells (B2:H30) and select a background color (Format, Cells, Pattern or use the 'color bucket' toolbar button). Pick a color (i.e. Light Blue) that also has a lighter and darker color available on the color palette.
- Now select a smaller range (C5:G10) within the first range.
- Select Format, Cells, and click the Borders tab.
- Click the Color dropdown and select the lighter shade (i.e. Pale Blue) of the color you used in Step 1.
- Make sure the Line Style on the bottom left of the Line Style box is selected (i.e. surrounded by a dotted border). If not, click to select it.
- Click on the top border and the left border buttons.
- Now, click on the Color dropdown again and select the darker shade (i.e. Dark Blue) of the color you used in Step 1.
- Select one of the thicker border styles on the right side of the Line Style section.
- Click on the bottom border and the right border.
- Now, drum roll please ... Click OK.
To change the stripe color, click the Format button. The Format Cells dialog box appears. Click the Fill tab and then choose a fill color. If you want to be truly authentic, choose More Colors, Custom and use Red=200, Green=225, and Blue=204 to simulate 1980s-era greenbar paper. Click OK to accept the color and return to the Modify PivotTable Quick Style dialog box.
When you use a formatting feature that involves a color palette, such as when you change the fill color of an object, the colors that appear depend on the colors that are currently loaded into the theme placeholders. Check out the palette in Figure 3, for example. This palette shows 10 theme colors, with lighter and darker tints/shades of the colors beneath. If you choose one of these theme colors for an object you are formatting, and then you change to a different theme, the color will change as prescribed by the new theme. In contrast, if you apply one of the colors in the Standard Colors section of the palette, that color is forever fixed until you manually change it, regardless of the theme. (The same goes if you choose More Colors and select from a dialog box; all those custom colors are fixed too.)
