I'm a bit of a laggard when it comes to excel fill colours - I like the old preset ones pre 2007.

I'm finding it a bit tricky to recreate them with the custom colour function and they don't seem to be in the 'more colours' picker.

Does anyone know the RGB numbers for the pale colours of pink, cyan (turquoise), blue, green and yellow?

Those pastel shades characterise a lot of my old sheets and now I'm writing new ones I'd quite like to keep using the same colours.

Thanks!

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Well, glad to know I'm not alone in wanting easier access to the old colours. I'd rather not pay for a solution, though - I'm well over spent on my IT budget....
