Can you provide a sample spreadsheet where the problem is reproducible? (a hint: when producing screenshots, please use PNGs. They don't weight much, and don't distort colors and lines. E.g., here it's even impossible to get the real RGB color value from the image)

Created attachment 147354 [details] Conparison of the different yellows But your cells are filled with different colors! On the attached screenshots, it's clear that cells C6:C10 are filled using color #FFF200 (and the highlighted color is to the right in the bottom "Recent" line), while for cells C11:C13, "yellow" is used, and the color in the palette is highlighted. Closing NOTABUG. Feel free to put it back to UNCONFIRMED if you feel it's wrong. If so, please provide detailed steps how to reproduce this using the same applied color.
Hi Mike Point is I never pick the yellow color from recent line of colors at the bottom. I always pick from the same yellow square at the top lh of the color palette.
(In reply to Ivan Williams from comment #5) So we need something to reproduce wrong behavior. Specific steps ("1. do this; 2. click that; 3. select that... N. the color is wrong"). Without that, it's *impossible* to work on something.
Mike, apologies. I do not believe it is a bug as such. After trying various methods to reliably duplicate the issue, I realized that when opening a new Calc spreadsheet, the default fill color is the "darker" yellow. (not on the Standard fill color palette) I used this colour thinking it was saved or remembered from a previous session. To duplicate: 1.)Open a new calc spreadsheet (note the fill color, yellow in my case) 2.)Highlight any cell and use the default fill color without opening the palette drop down. 3.)Now highlight an adjacent cell and open the standard color palette. 4.)None of the yellows in the standard palette match the "default" yellow. Workaround: Never use the default yellow as present when opening a calc document, always open the color picker and pick the color needed.
