    XlColor color
)

Parameters

An XlColor object that is the color used to fill a cell background.

Returns

Type Description
XlFill

An XlFill object that specifies the cell background fill.

Remarks

Use the SolidFill method to specify the background color of a cell. This method automatically sets the XlFill.PatternType property to XlPatternType.Solid value and assigns the specified color to the XlFill.ForeColor property.

To apply the specified fill settings to a cell, pass the XlFill object to the IXlCell.ApplyFormatting method as a parameter, or assign it to the IXlCell.Formatting property.

For more information on how to set the background characteristics of a cell, refer to the How to: Change Cell Background Color example.

// Create a new worksheet.
using(IXlSheet sheet = document.CreateSheet()) {

    using(IXlRow row = sheet.CreateRow()) {
        using(IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell()) {
            // Fill the cell background using the predefined color.
            cell.ApplyFormatting(XlFill.SolidFill(Color.Beige));
        }
        using(IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell()) {
            // Fill the cell background using the custom RGB color.
            cell.ApplyFormatting(XlFill.SolidFill(Color.FromArgb(0xff, 0x99, 0x66)));
        }
        using(IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell()) {
            // Fill the cell background using the theme color.
            cell.ApplyFormatting(XlFill.SolidFill(XlColor.FromTheme(XlThemeColor.Accent3, 0.4)));
        }
    }

    using(IXlRow row = sheet.CreateRow()) {
        using(IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell()) {
            // Specify the cell background pattern using predefined colors.
            cell.ApplyFormatting(XlFill.PatternFill(XlPatternType.DarkDown, Color.Red, Color.White));
        }
        using(IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell()) {
            // Specify the cell background pattern using custom RGB colors.
            cell.ApplyFormatting(XlFill.PatternFill(XlPatternType.DarkTrellis, Color.FromArgb(0xff, 0xff, 0x66), Color.FromArgb(0x66, 0x99, 0xff)));
        }
        using(IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell()) {
            // Specify the cell background pattern using theme colors.
            cell.ApplyFormatting(XlFill.PatternFill(XlPatternType.LightHorizontal, XlColor.FromTheme(XlThemeColor.Accent1, 0.2), XlColor.FromTheme(XlThemeColor.Light2, 0.0)));
