Match text and fill colors
Reading
In this next step, you will refine your digital art by making a few crucial adjustments to the conditional formatting rules in your spreadsheet. The goal here is to make the numbers within your image invisible, thereby enhancing the visual appeal of your pixel art. At present, the numeric values in your project’s cells are still visible, which can detract from the artistic quality of your work. To address this, you need to modify the conditional formatting rules and the color settings of your spreadsheet. Start by selecting the entire area of your image. Then, access the conditional formatting settings. Focus on your first rule and align the text color with the fill color of that rule. It’s important to ensure that the colors match precisely. When the text color and the fill color are identical, the numbers in your image become hidden, leaving only the pixel art visible. The values will still be there, but they will be camouflaged by the matching colors. Repeat this process for all the remaining rules in your conditional formatting setup.
Once you have matched the text and fill colors for all your rules, the next step is to remove the gridlines from your spreadsheet. This action is key to improving the clarity of your image and achieving a more cohesive and polished appearance. Eliminating the gridlines allows your artwork to stand out more distinctly, giving it a cleaner and more professional look. Now it’s time for you to apply these changes: go ahead and adjust your conditional formatting rules so that the text colors align with the fill colors, and then proceed to remove the gridlines from your spreadsheet. By following these steps, you’ll transform your spreadsheet into a seamless and visually striking piece of pixel art, showcasing your creativity and attention to detail.
