    Default Background Color

    ✭✭
    in Smartsheet Basics

    Greetings

    I some how got the background of one of my smartsheets to appear gray whenever I create a new column and when I pull a report and display the Sheet Name (system column) it too appears to be gray. I have doubled checked the conditional formatting and I am not using any gray colors. I have all my other columns white now but when I create a new column or look at the sheet name in reports it appears to be gray.


    Thanks

      Hi @Ty Layton

      Check if you have hidden columns and select them all and use the Clear Formats feature.

      Did that fix it?

      I hope that helps!

      Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

      Check your conditional formatting rules. There may be something in there that's causing the issue.

      Hope that helps.

      Greetings Ramzi,

      I have double checked my conditional Formatting and I dont see an issue there. I am using red and orange formatting. No grays, I also disabled the 4 conditional formatting and the issue is still present.
