Last updated:July 16, 2026

When using Background Color, common questions usually involve printing, applying color to full rows or columns, and clearing color; this section includes 4 common questions and a glossary.

FAQ

Will the background color affect printing?

  1. Yes. Cell color is part of the visible spreadsheet content.
  2. If you print in color, the color effect is usually included in the output.
  3. If you print in black and white, the color may appear as grayscale or become less obvious, so it is helpful to preview the print result first.

Can I apply background color to a whole row or column?

  1. Yes. Select the entire row or column first.
  2. Then open Cell Pattern/Background Settings.
  3. Choose Foreground Color or Background Color and confirm to apply the color to the selected range.

How do I remove background color in WPS on Android?

  1. Select the cell that already has color applied.
  2. Open Cell Pattern/Background Settings.
  3. Choose No Fill or an equivalent clear-color option to remove the current color effect.

Will conditional formatting override a manually applied background color?

  1. When manual fill and conditional formatting both exist, the displayed result depends on the current sheet rules.
  2. If conditional formatting applies a color rule to the same cell, the interface may show the conditional formatting result first.
  3. After you apply color, check the final display result and adjust the conditional formatting rules if needed.
