Hi Zaid,

Thank you for considering Aspose.


Well, you need to specify Pattern type if you are setting background/fill color for the cells. When you use Style.ForegroundColor, you need to specify the pattern as “BackgroundType.Solid” for a cell’s shading color. You can also apply a cell’s background color, for Style.BackgroundColor you will select any pattern type other than “BackgroundType.Solid” or “BackgroundType.None”. Please see the following documentation link for more details,

You can add a line of code to your code, e.g
cells1(0, 1).Style.ForegroundColor = Color.Blue
cells1(0, 1).Style.Pattern = BackgroundType.Solid




Thank you.
