I am also having this problem. It was working this morning and now I'm also
getting the grayed out boxes with no colors. I also don't have High Contrast
enabled. Everything else looks fine. If this helps, before I was getting
the grayed out boxes with no color, the little arrow that opens the button up
wasn't working. I would click it and nothing would happen. Same with all
the buttons that have those arrows. I removed the non-functional buttons and
put them back on and they seem to be working again except now when that fill
button opens, it shows no color options. I tried rebooting as well. Any
suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you!

Word 2003 color fill button does not allow selection of a color. The panel
pops up but is all white boxes and does not allow selection. it is like
this
on formatting and drawing toolbars. It was working but suddenly it
stopped.
