Fill color is a helpful tool for highlighting data in a spreadsheet. It has long been used for a number of purposes in Microsoft Excel, and the Google Sheets application continues that tradition by offering its own tool that you can use for fill color. Whether there’s an entire row, a single cell, or a large merged cell, you can apply a fill color to it.
