Why the heck can we not edit the font colors????? We all have used html color codes back in the day. Its like ya'll are limiting technology and going backwards.
I'm at work trying to store bar codes and color the font with the color of the sticker that we have put on the assets to differentiate them. Pretty sure we can do this in google sheets right??

Users really need the ability to use custom colours in online versions of Office apps.
Also, please upvote this related suggestion about custom themes:

At least add different shades of each colour! Why is the purple so deep and there's like 12 different greys?! I can't.

The color options for WEB are hugely disappointing....I need more colors, or at least the ability for a custom color option. Having to open in the Desktop app, just to spec a color? That's counter-productive!...get the web version on par! Please!

We use online and desktop app, not having the ability to have the fill colors match online vs desktop options/themes has been a huge pain.

Definitely the lack of colour selection and inability to customize colours has had a significant impact on how efficiently we are able to run our office.

I need more colors on excel. Why is the palette limited now. I don't have enough colors to distinguish between my classes and teachers.

Fully support this, as a minimum, additional highlight colours would be extremely useful

Please, please add the More Colors option to Excel Online! I don't understand what's the point of not having that option in Excel Online!!!

EmmaKate Small, yes that is true. But if you're sharing your file with a group of others at the same time, the purpose is defeated. There simply isn't enough colors online.

All- FYI just discovered that if you open the file in Excel from one drive, not online (obv will not work for you if you are only using online products and do not have the suite) you can format as you like and your edits will save to the online file.

MS thinks changing Office Online name is more important than adding real functionality.. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-Apps-Blog/Why-Office-Online-is-Now-Simply-Office/ba-p/760207

Whomever created and approved the colour palette must be colour blind. 50 shades of grey but nary a pink or aqua to be found 😝 . Glad the same team wasn't in charge of emojis.

Wait, there ever was a color palette option? This seems like a really odd feature to have removed. Customization is a really big deal for my personal documents as well as my organization's needs.

We need to be able to create our own color palettes! Removing color palettes has caused overhead. Now I have to download, reformat, and replace the shared document with a final document that is correctly formatted with the required colors. I do not understand the reasoning for removing this feature.

It's just absurd that this even needs to be a mention. Now I have to pull my spreadsheet out of on-line version so I can color code the way I want. What the heck was MS thinking?

You need more feminine colors. I feel like all the colors available are dark and depressing. Where's the pink or light purple or aqua or anything that isn't brown or grey!
