Themes and pivot table colors

[cshenoy]

I created a new theme with the set of colors I need. However, when I make a pivot table it's using a colors that aren't in the theme. They aren't the standard colors either. I also used the Design tab in the Pivot Table Tools menu to make a new Pivot table style. Unfortunately, it doesn't "stick;" I have to remake the style in every new workbook, even when I specify it as the default.

I've attached an example. I created the style I'd like to use, but didn't apply it.

My question - Where is the pivot table coming up with its colors? Can I change the default?

In Excel 2003, you could change the standard colors. I don't see how to do that in 2007.

Thanks for your help!

In the Pivot table styles list,right-click your custom one and choose Set Default.
It will only apply to this workbook, but you could set it up in a template workbook and use that for all new workbooks.

Of course! Thanks so much. Any clue where the odd colors are coming from? They change when you change the theme. Very strange.

It appears to use whatever the Accent1 cell style is set to.
