Hi,

In my excel I have data only in cell A1 to D5. I have hidden all the remaining rows and colunns. When we do this, for the hidden rows and columns, the excel shows light blue color. I really like that color and want to use that as a background in A1:D5.

I have been trying to find this since a long time but not able to get exactly the same color.

Appreciate your time.

Regards,
Javed

Hi Javed,

Using screen capture + paint program, shows...
RGB color: Red 165: Green 199: Blue 239

That is a nice color. Could be a little tricky to get a good contrast for text. ;)

Good luck!
