Can anyone explain how this is done? Thanks!
macbook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
Hi pleasehelpme,
shift command c will toggle (on/off) the glorious colour palette.
It works in Pages 4 (Pages '09) and Pages 5 and Pages 6.
Click on a cell (or select a range of cells).
Format Panel > Cell > Fill > Color Fill
Drag a colour from the palette to a cell
Regards,
Ian.
This helped me tremendously! Thanks.
Let us guess, you are not on Mac OSX (10.4.11) and are using Pages 5?
Click on the little rainbow colored disk next to the fill swatch, that takes you to the Color Picker.

Thanks for trying to help me! I have OS X 10.9.1. Pages Version 5.1 (1769). I do not see what you are describing for fill. Here's is what I see:
Here is what I see if I click on the fill color (the green box):
No amount of click on anything brings up the color disk (wheel?). That is accessed another way. It seems to have no relationship to fill. I've used it to create custom color for text and images. Help!
So much for the "Contextual" UI! 😀
Peter
YES!! There it is! Thanks so much.
That lil ol' triangle seems to defeat nearly all the users looking for formatting. They have to poke under every one to find things. Like an Easter Egg hunt.
I wonder if the programmers might reconsider this effort at minimising the UI. Hardly contextual when in the context you can't see it.
Particularly when they have acres of screen to play with in the format pane.
