I have been playing around with some reports and exporting them to excel, only to find that the colour in SSRS is not even remotely close to that in excel – for example if I have a textbox that is PaleGreen is SSRS, it comes out a rather unpleasant shade of grey.
Is there a way of knowing which SSRS colours will look the same in excel exports so I can stick to those? I’m using SSRS 2005 and excel 2003 (but can use Excel 2007 if it helps).
Thanks!
Sounds like this is caused by the algorithm that is used to match the reporting services colors up to the excel color pallet. There is no fix for this. I usually tend to try to use basic colors Silver, White, Blue, etc. to avoid these issues.
