Color Palette Changes unexpectedly

[dmarkell]

I have had this intermittent problem for a while: at certain times the color palette in a worksheet will unexpectedly change, mixing up the colors so grey turns to orange, etc. This has happened to both the font color and background color palettes. It typically happens when i have multiple workbooks open, though I haven't been able to trace the color palette to a particular spreadsheet or macro. I don't believe I have any macros that alter the color palettes.

Does anyone have any tips for getting to the bottom of this, or know of this issue? thanks,

I have also came accross this, but haven't figured out why or how it happens. usually I just clsoe out Excel completely open a blank sheet, reset the color palette and then close thats heet and re-open the original sheet and the colors are fine again. I have also noticed at times that some of my toolbars are different. But I also have no clue why this happens as I don't have any code that alters the color palette. But I believe I have also noticed this when I have many very large files open as to maybe it doesn't have enough memory resources for it.
