The colors in Excel Online are trash. Why is this hard? Why do I need to "vote" for the same color palette that already exists in both Drive and standard Excel. Get it together, Microsoft.

The old Color choice table under further colors should be available again. The Theme Colors in Exel Online are not very tasty and dont fullfill the nessecary wide range.

not enough light colors, i.e. dark purple is there, no light purple that could be used for shading

I thought of more to add after I posted. No access to past colors unless I go back and find it somewhere in the file and copy/paste. A big pain! Don't want to have to go back and change my legend for past 3 yrs of work.

I have a running file that I no longer have access to some of the colors I have used for 3 yrs now. More colors, and more SHADES of colors, please.

The Fill Color choices are awful! Gray, grey, yucky green, yellow or orange. YUCK!

Please, please, please get rid of this horrible GREEN. Put the display colors back where they were. Also, stop making the amounts "roll" when something changes. Just let them "change". Any stop making the display so "flowy". That's the only word I can come up with.

Please input more colors into the theme! Not enough color diversity... Cannot work in grayscale.

What happened to customizing colors?! It would be nice to have that feature for the online (in browser) version..

THIS. I'm so so so upset about this color scheme. It makes my job a million times harder, and frankly it's asinine. Nobody in their right mind could possibly think this many grey colors is helpful. It's awful. I hope they switch it back. It's killing my workflow.

Why are we back to this gray scale color scheme? In what universe does anyone need that many shades of gray. It's absurd. I want custom colors or just MORE OPTIONS. I don't mean 12 blues, 87 grays, and 12 yellows. One of the many reasons I am on the verge of switching back to Google Sheets. Aside from the fact that nobody seems to be working on the color problem- the sheets are slow. They refresh every 5 seconds and oftentimes it will refresh while I'm working on something and lose all my work. Excel online has some SERIOUS bugs that nobody seems to be fixing.
