Hi, I have the problem that I want to use my own colors in Excel. I read the quick guide about custom colors and when registering my own color using this method e.g. red with RGB(255,0,0) the color displayed in Excel is not a read matching 255,0,0 but a much darker red it seems that it is the red I'm getting with HSSFColor.RED what am I doing wrong.
Here's the code I'm using: -------------------8<------------------- short colorIdx = 10; palette.setColorAtIndex( colorIdx, (byte)255, (byte)0, (byte)0 ); ... style = workbook.createCellStyle(); style.setFillBackgroundColor(colorIdx); style.setFillPattern(HSSFCellStyle.BIG_SPOTS); cell.setCellStyle(style); -------------------8<------------------- Is there something wrong what I'm doing? I'm using the following POI-Packages: - poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar - poi-contrib-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar - poi-scratchpad-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar Thanks Tom --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing List: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#poi The Apache Jakarta Poi Project: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
