Open an existing excel file or make a new one.
Mark your description column.
|

Click the Fill Color button and choose the color you like.
Don't use colors that are too strong or bright you can very quickly make things worse to look at.

Click the Center text button to align the text in description cells.

Preferably lighter then the color you chose for the description cells.

... and clicked the Center Text button.

You can also change the color of the text.
Select the cells where you want to change the text color, click the Font Color button and choose the color you like.
Again keep in mind the readability is more important then the pretty colors, so choose it wisely.
