To apply color to cell values or backgrounds, click Text or
Bar from the All dropdown menu.
To customize colors applied to the table, click Color.
Set colors for Start Value and End
Value.
To include a midpoint, select Center Value and set its color.
To restore default values, click in the Edit Colors window.
