When I use the arrow keys to cycle through fill colors the arrow key changes the actual reference cell or range. For example, I select a cell, Shift + --> to highlight a series of cells/row. ALT + H + H to access fill colors. Use arrows to cycle through fill colors (at which point the arrow keys start referencing different cells rather than different colors).
