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!

I can't believe we need to request this. Themes are fine until you need colours to have some sort of meaning outside of Office apps

Agree, my team uses colours a lot to code tasks etc - can't possibly work with the limited palette available online. How disappointing!

I would love to switch over to Excel Online, but my team needs color coding to do our job and the limited colors make that impossible. We need more color options, not various shades of colors. Also having custom color options is a must.

Having three variations of blue to choose from in the Theme Colors and only two basic reds in the Standard Colors is ridiculous. At least change two of the blues to red and purple and have all of the basic rainbow colors available in the theme.

What happened to the customize colors? I want to customize fill color as well as font color. I can't find any option for that. All that shows up is standard colors.

Yes, just boot up Gdrive, notice there's colors, and custom for those who don't want to be limited
