SSRS and Excel color compatibility?

Question

I have SSRS Reports created and rendering in Excel format. I used a custom color(mentioned in excel spec R23, G123, B87) in SSRS. But it shows a different color with the same combination in SSRS. And once I render the report to Excel it shows the color different though I used the same color combination. Why the color difference in Excel and SSRS? How do I solve this?

Answer 1

You’re not doing anything wrong; the difference you see between SSRS and Excel colors comes from how each application interprets and renders colors.
