How to change the color of Excel worksheet Tab

A selected Worksheet Tab in Microsoft Excel is white, but what if you want to add a splash of Color or distinctive Colors to your Worksheet Tab. Adding Color to your Worksheet Tabs is an easy way to organize your work and differentiate the Worksheet Tabs from each other. Suppose you have a large sum of work and want to find your worksheets quickly.

Microsoft Word offers this feature.  When selecting Tab Color, you can choose Theme Color, Standard Color, No Color, and More Color. When you choose More Color, you will see a dialog box called Color. More Color consists of Standard Colors and Custom Colors.
