>>>My CURRENT or ACTUAL background and table background colors are both GREEN and in the actual column it shows gray for both settings.
When I look at your account setup, I don't see any value for the color settings. Thus, I believe you are using the default colors. However, if I understand correctly, the sample values are not shown correctly. I see them ok here. Can you send me by email a snapshot of that portion view of the screen so I can take a look visually to see exactly what you are seeing?
