Ron: I don't know what is wrong - I followed your directions and I now have a nice purple and a nice burgundy cell. What about trying a new spreadsheet? Are you able to upgrade, although I don't think this feature is new, but maybe something else is wrong with your version and this would fix it? What about rebooting? Does that change anything? It should work, and does work for me. Write back the results of your testing.
