Laura, If you are asking whether it would work if the color was a highlight, my answer for now is I'm not sure. If it doesn't seem to be recognizing the highlight colors, you may try to go into edit mode within the cell by hitting f2, then try insert with 5 to read the color.

That should yield the colors of both the foreground and background, i.e., if you have black text on a white background.
