What is really meant by "Standard Colors" when you use the shading paint
bucket in Excel 2007?  Are all of these colors supposed to be
backward-compatible with Excel 2003?  (They're actually not... the "light
green" from Excel 2007's "Standard Colors" gets permanently converted into
yellow if it's saved in Excel 2003).

I believe 'standard colors' refers to the default colors for your theme.
Unless you've changed it that would be the Office theme.  See the Themes
group on the Page Layout tab.  Perhaps you want to pick a different theme or
different theme's colors.   I don't know that any of them are design to
mimic Excel 2003 colors.
