MS Excel question: the default palette of cell colors is VERY limited. How do I get more colors?

I'm using Excel 2002 from MS Office Pro. If you right-click on a cell, then hit format cells, then hit patterns, you get a measly 56 cell colors to choose from. How do I get more colors??

Update:

There is no button at the bottom that says Custom.

There could be a custom function hidden elsewhere. Does anyone know where??

Update 2:

AHH! I found it. Searching for "custom colors" through the wizard showed me the procedure for changing the palette defaults!

Thanks!

    There should be a button at the bottom that says custom colors. You should then be able to create some of your own.
