How do I get backgrount color to show in libreoffice calc?

I have a spreadsheet I created in open office on another computer and it has certain boxes filled with color. I saved it to google drive. My cord shorted out so while I wait for a new one I am using my brother's computer and it has libreoffice installed. So I downloaded the spreadsheet and open it and the cells are white. If I click on an individual cell I can see the color it is supposed to be but I need to see them all at the same time. How do I fix this?

Update:

Sorry background* I was in a hurry

Update 2:

I fixed it. It had to do with high contrast setting. Once you turn that off the colors come back.

    It's not broken.  Nothing to fix.  If you try to reformat for Libreoffice, then when you get back to your computer using Open Office, you may not have the correct colors again, and you'll be 'fixing' it all over again.   Just leave it, and work with it as best you can until your cord arrives and you can use your own computer again.
