Color mismatch in ssrs report and excel sheet

Question

I have an ssrs report in which I used some color formatting. The problem is that it displays perfectly on the preview tab, but when I export it to an Excel worksheet, the color changes. Please help me.

SSRS + Excel Colors are a strange combination, you will probably have a tough time with the same output in Excel as in SSRS. See this post: http://www.sqldev.org/sql-server-reporting-services/excel-export-copy-to-another-excel-discoloration-issue-for-ssrs-2008-23790.shtml
