SSRS footer text color not changing

We are applying a stylesheet to SSRS report footer. Footer Font color is set dynamically based on the configuration in the database.
When report is exported into Excel, footer color is always black. It is always black in the SSRS report as well. However PDF export shows the footer color correctly.
Has anyone faced this issue with footer color in Excel export? Is it not possible to change the footer color in Excel export? Any tips are appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I suspect you're just using a color that Excel doesn't typically use. Try matching your CSS to one of the 56 colors that Excel can accepts from SSRS. See:
exporting-to-microsoft-excel
"If more than 56 colors are used in the report, the rendering
extension matches the required color to one of the 56 colors already
available in the custom palette."
I just struck a similar issue, but when Exporting to Word docx format. It seems to ignore the font settings for placeholders in a footer.
I was able to work around it using the technique described in the link below - you set the text as a Placeholder with Markup Type = HTML, then wrap the text in HTML tags as the Value e.g.
="<font color='blue'>My blue footer text</font>"

here is the image :
And for your info, it is not donut chart, it is just collection of pie chart.
so my question is, how to convert it back so I can edit the data chart.

Is it possible to add shape to existing image in Excel

Is it possible to insert shape and add the shape to already existing picture inserted from a file like PNG, JPG, GIF. I am looking for merging the shape and the picture in ONE image, not just grouping them together.
Alternatively is there a way to group two objects in Excel permanently so that no ungrouping is possible?
