Wrong background colours in Excel (Office 365)
Since two days I cannot fill my cells with the right colours. I'm using Windows 10 and Office 365.
When the colour red, orange or yellow is selected and I try to change the background colour of the cell it turns purple.
When dark red, light green or purple is selected and I try to change the background colour of the cell it stays white.
When the colour green, light blue, blue or dark blue is selected and I try to chaange the beackground colour of the cell it turns light blue.
Cells that had a different background colour before the above occurred have the right colour (e.g. yellow). When I copy hese cells and paste the format in another cel the color changes as described above.
I'm not working in high contrast mode and when trying to change the text colour in a cell there's no trouble at all......
Anyone having simular problems or having a solution to solve this issue?
