I'm exporting Excel from a RadGrid and I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.
I'm tweaking the content in the BiffExporting event handler and everything is essentially working.
The only problem is that I don't seem to have very good control over the background color of the spread sheet. The System.Drawing.Color settings don't seem to translate very well and at the moment the spreadsheet looks like an Easter basket.
(LightPink, LightBlue and LightGoldenrodYellow, the mildest colors that didn't go grey.).
I rarely use Excel myself but from what I've read its palette is somewhat limited.
Any way to select from the actual Excel palette in code?

Hello Boris,
Yes, the palette is limited as you say. I'm afraid there is no way to define a custom palette or modify the existing one at this point. I will ask our developers to log this as a feature request.
Please excuse us for any inconvenience caused.
