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.
