How to change cell color in PHPSpreadsheet

Question

Are you able to change the color of a cell in a .xlsx file with PHPspreadsheet? Couldn't find anything in their function list or on Stack Overflow.

Answer 1

For those who understand "change cell color" as Background color and not Text color, the right code is:

$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('[YOUR_CELL_OR_RANGE_HERE]')->getFill()
    ->setFillType(\PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Style\Fill::FILL_SOLID)
    ->getStartColor()->setARGB('YOUR_COLOR_CODE_HERE');

Example:

$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('E2')->getFill()
    ->setFillType(\PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Style\Fill::FILL_SOLID)
    ->getStartColor()->setARGB('FFFF0000');
