    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.
    Why?

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

    Need more colors ! How is it you can't even get pink online but you can on the desktop version! Please give the online version the same color allowance as the desktop version please!

    There's at least three requests for this. Seems like a no-brainer guys. We don't need four different grayscales, three blues, but no red, purple, or teal gradient options. I don't want to use the hard-to-read, burn-your-eyes-out choices at the bottom. I like my spreadsheets to be color coded -and- readable.

    Pleaseeeeeee we need more color options! This affects our staff schedule as we have switched over to using Excel online for our daily task schedule.

    Extremely annoying to set one colour on the desktop version and not be able to set the same colour in the online version. I end up with spreadsheets with a mismatch of colours which should be the same.

    Incredibly frustrating to move into the online version of Excel and suddenly have such limited color options. Why are there three different blues, but no purple or teal? I don't need 15 blues, but a few other colors (Custom colors like everything else???) should be bare minimum rather than one pigeon-holed color theme.

    Got to love it when functionality goes backwards. 365 has multiple color choices WTH not here.
