"(View tab, Gridlines) - Displays the cell gridlines. You can change the colour of the gridlines by altering the colour in the drop-down box at the bottom. If you want gridlines printed but not displayed choose (File > Page Setup)(Sheet tab, Gridlines)."
- some article I find with this Google:

My next thought is that Excel picks up the colors from the System colors you select in the Control panel of Windows.
I have not tried this, but you can and report back.

i was just wondering if there was a way to change the colour of the highlight around a selected box when in a worksheet.
at the moment it is green and i cant see what box i have selected.
i know its not a major problem - its just bugging me.
thanks
